Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number according to the at-mospheric temperature.Recommended viscosity is given inthe following illustration. The engine oil quality should meet the following API classification: 2.6 N/A : CF-4 or ABOVE 2.5 4D56 TCI : CF-4 or ABOVE 2.5 CRDi TCI : CF-4 or ABOVE The engine oil quality should meet the following ACEA classification: 2.6 N/A : B2 or B3 2.5 4D56 TCI : B2 or B3 2.5 CRDi TCI : B4 or ABOVE NOTE: For diesel-powered vehicle SAE 0W-30 oil should be used only inareas where extremely cold tem- peratures of 10°C (50°F) or below are experienced.For diesel-powered vehicle, if theatmospheric temperatures are 0°C
G030A02O-GAT
Recommended Oil Gasoline Engine Engine oil is essential to the perfor-
mance and service of the engine. It is suggested that you check the oil level at least once a week in normal useand more often if you are on a trip or driving in severe conditions. G030B01JMThe engine oil quality should meet
the following classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is preferred regardlessof regional option and engine variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 en- gine oil is not available, second- ary recommended engine oil forcorresponding temperature range can be used.
(32°F) or below, SAE 30 oil must not be used. This oil should beused only in areas where the at- mospheric temperatures are 0°C(32°F) or above.

To Check the Oil Level
If the oil level is below the specified limit, remove the cap located on the cylinder head cover and add enoughoil to raise the level to within the specified range. Be sure to use the specified engine oil and do not mixvarious types of oil. Also, avoid mix- ing different makes of oil together if possible. After adding oil, close thecap securely.
It is important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a long trip.
This check must be made with the
engine warm but not running. Park the vehicle on a level surface, stopthe engine, and then wait a few mo- ments to allow the engine oil in circu- lation to return to the oil pan to ensureaccurate measurement. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Reinsert the dipstick and read the oillevel, which should always be within the range indicated in the figure. WARNING:
Be careful not to touch the hot exhaust manifold.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oilusing by a funnel. Do not overfillnot to damage engine. NOTE: Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil.
