SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL
Recommended API classification: Above SJ or SL
Recommended SAE viscosity grades:
*1 If 5W-20 / GF3 engine oil is not available, 5W-30/GF3 or secondary recommended engine oil for corresponding temperature range can be used.
NOTE: For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which
1. Satisfy the requirement of the API classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade! number and API service classification on the container should not be used.
