Lubrication system
Oil viscosity
●The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.
● The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the
vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load condition.

with filter 6.4 qt. (6.1 L, 5.3 lmp.qt.)
without filter6.0 qt. (5.7 L, 5.0 lmp.qt.)
