Caution
Failure to use the
recommended engine oil or
equivalent can result in
engine damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Viscosity Grade
For the 2.0L L4 turbo engine,
use SAE 0W-20 viscosity
grade engine oil.
For the 3.6L V6 engine, use
SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
engine oil. Cold Temperature
Operation: In an area of
extreme cold, where the
temperature falls below
−
29 °C
(
−
20 °F), an SAE 0W-30 oil
may be used. An oil of this
viscosity grade will provide
easier cold starting for the
engine at extremely low
temperatures.
When selecting an oil of the
appropriate viscosity grade, it
is recommended to select an
oil of the correct specification.

Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil.
The recommended oils
meeting the dexos

needed for good performance
and engine protection.
Engine oil system flushes are
not recommended and could
cause engine damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains
certain elements that can be
unhealthy for your skin and
could even cause cancer. Do
not let used oil stay on your
skin for very long. Clean your
skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner.
Wash or properly dispose of
clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. See the
manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of
oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the
environment. If you change
your own oil, be sure to drain
all the oil from the filter before
disposal. Never dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash or
pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or
bodies of water. Recycle it by
taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
