Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near
the low level mark, add engine
oil of the same type as already in
the engine.
Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before
adding oil. Remove the oil filler cap.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Install the filler cap, turning it clockwise.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and
full on the dipstick is indicated as follows:
1.2 qt. (1.1 L, 1.0 lmp. qt.)
■ Recommended viscosity
5W-20 or 0W-20
SAE 5W-20 or 0W-20 motor oil
may be used. However, SAE 0W-
20 is the best choice for fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.

Lubrication system
*: 0W-20 is the oil that provides the optimal level of fuel efficiency.
Oil viscosity
●The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startabi lity. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
● The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil visc osity when the oil is at its oper-
ating temperature. An oil with a hi gher viscosity may be better suited
if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
