water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES 
* 1:
Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
* 2:
Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ- 
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct 
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
