Maintenance and care
nRecommended viscosity
SAE 5W−20 or 0W−2 0 engine oil
may be used. However, SAE
0W−20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
nHow to read oil container labels
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval
Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to
help you select the
oil you should use.

nEngine oil consumption
lThe amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
lMore oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
lA new engine consumes more oil.
lWhen judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accu−
rately.
nResetting the engine oil maintenance data
The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:
Switch the display to the trip meter A when the engine is running.
( P. 161)
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode (but do not start the engine
because otherwise the reset mode will be cancelled). Continue to
press and hold the button until the multi−information display indi−
cates that the reset is complete.

Oil viscosity:
l
The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startab ility. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
lThe 20 in 0W−20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is as its oper−
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con−
dition.
