your vehicle.
For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to

should not be used.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-

mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes
are followed.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad-

performance may be impaired by supplemental
