Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 5W-30
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE
10W-30 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 5W-30
at the next oil change.Outside temperature
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 with a lower
value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold
weather.
• The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the vis- cosity 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 con-
ditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is added to some oil
containers to help you select the oil
you should use.
