ENGINE OIL SELECTION
2JZ − GE engine—Use API grade SH,
”Energy − Conserving II” or SJ,
”Energy − Conserving” multigrade engine oil
or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for your
vehicle, for good fuel economy, and
good starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W−30 engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the engine
may become difficult to start, so SAE
5W−30 engine oil is recommended.
