 CAUTION
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. 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.
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 : Requires  grade engine oil.  
If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine 
oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms to 
the international Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee 
(ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold 
this API Certification Mark.
