* You can use an alternative SAE 5W-30 engine oil, providing it meets the
specification defined by WSS-M2C913-B.
Note:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C, you mustnot use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets thespecification defined by WSS-M2C913-B, you must use SAE 5W-30(preferred), SAE 5W-40 (except Flexfuel vehicles) or SAE 10W-40 thatmeets the specification defined by either ACEA A1/B1 (preferred) or ACEAA3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine cranking periods, reducedengine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission levels.
