RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
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.
*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labelled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reduc-
ing 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.

3: Diesel Particulate Filter
*4: If the ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL, ILSAC GF-3, ACEA A3

Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining
any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other
mechanisms that could be damaged.
CAUTION
Recommended SAE viscosity number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (engine start and engine
oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however,
higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other
than those recommended could result in engine damage.

Specifications & Consumer information
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change.
Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.
*1: For better fuel economy, it is recom-
mended to use the engine oil of a vis-
cosity grade SAE 5W-30 (ACEA A5).
However, if the engine oil is not avail-
able in your country, select the prop-
er engine oil using the engine oil vis-
cosity chart.Temperature Range for SAE Viscosity Numbers
