NOTE: Use engine oil with API classification SJ for gasoline engines and CF for diesel engines.
Gasoline Vehicles Only: Below 40°F (4°C), the use of SAE 30 may result in hard starting.
Gasoline Vehicles Only: Above 80°F (27°C), the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption.
Check oil level more frequently.
Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) may increase oil consumption. If multi-grade oil is used, check
the oil level more frequently.
