Vehicle specifications
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here as an example): • The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils wi th a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark
is added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you
should use.
