LUBRICANT

Recommended lubricants

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.

Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available.

Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel

economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to over-

come 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.

These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your

vehicle.

Recommended SAE viscosity number

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy

and cold weather operating (starting and oil flow). Lower viscos-

ity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weath-

er 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.

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.

*¹ Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers.

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 country, select the proper engine oil using the engine

oil viscosity chart.
