Specifications & Consumer information

Recommended SAE viscosity

number

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 operation (engine start and

engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-

ty engine oils can provide better fuel

economy and cold weather perform-

ance, however, higher viscosity

engine oils are required for satisfac-

tory 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 recom-

mended oil viscosity from the chart

For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the

engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API SM / ILSAC

GF-4). However, if the engine oil is not available in your

country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil vis-

cosity chart.
