Recommended lubricants and capacities
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel econ
-
omy and cold weather 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 recom
-
mended oil viscosity from the chart.
An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API) Certifica
-
tion Mark conforms to the International Lubricant Specification Advisory
Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold
this API Certification Mark.
