Recommended SAE viscosity

number

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an

effect on fuel economy and cold weather

operating (starting and oil flow). Lower

viscosity engine oils can provide better

fuel economy and cold weather perform-

ance, however, higher viscosity engine

oils are required for satisfactory lubrica-

tion in hot weather. Using oils of any vis-

cosity 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. For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-

20,5W-30 (API SJ,SL / ILSAC GF-3). However, if the engine oil is not available in your coun-

try, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.

CAUTION

Always be sure to clean the area

around any filler plug, drain plug, or

dipstick before checking or drain-

ing 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.
