Oil viscosity
●The 5W 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 30 in 5W-30 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.
