Engine Oil







ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY (SAE GRADE)

All Temperatures 5W-20 (Preferred)

All Temperatures 5W-30

SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil is designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle. Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number should not be used.

SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that are American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and have the recommended SAE viscosity grade. Follow the maintenance schedule that describes your driving type.

MATERIALS ADDED TO ENGINE OILS
The manufacture strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it's performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.

DISPOSING OF USED ENGINE OIL
Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil from your vehicle. Used oil, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your dealer, service station, or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil can be safely discarded in your area.
