Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil À ow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.
When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehicle will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
Using oils of viscosity besides those recommended for speci ¿ c temperature ranges
could result in engine damage.
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5) SKYACTIV-D 1.5 uses speci ¿ ed oil. Please con ¿ rm the speci ¿ cation in owner's
manual. If engine oil other than the speci ¿ ed oil is used, the Diesel Particulate
Filter effective period of use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may
be damaged.
