ENGINE OIL TYPE

ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Engine oils are labeled on the containers with various API (American Petroleum Institute or ILSAC designations of quality. Use only API SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ or ILSAC GF-1, GF-2, GF-3 quality oil. Additional designations of quality may also be present, but "SE", "SF", "SG", "SH", "SJ", "GF-1", "GF-2", or "GF-3" must be included. The "SE", "SF", "SG","SH", "SJ", "GF-1", "GF-2", or "GF-3" designations may be shown alone, or in combination with other designations such as "SE/CC", "SF/CC" "SG", "CC", "SE/CD" or "SE", "SF", "CC" etc. As long as the letters "SE" "SF", "SG", "SH", "SJ", "GF-1", "GF-2", or "GF-3" appear somewhere in the designation or oil quality indicated on the container the oil is suitable quality.

ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY






Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy. Lower viscosity engine oils can provide increased fuel economy however, higher temperature weather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. To get the best fuel economy with your vehicle, you should use a fuel saving engine oil of the proper viscosity. These oils can be found in service stations and other retail stores. They are identified by words such as: "Energy Saving", "Gasoline Saving", "Conserves Gasoline", "Friction Reducing", Improved Mileage", or "Fuel Savings". The chart lists the engine oil viscosities recommended for the temperature range you expect before the next oil change. For temperatures above -18°C (0°F), SAE 10W-30 is the preferred viscosity grade. If cold weather starting problems are encountered at temperatures below -18°C (0°F), SAE 5W-30 viscosity oils may be required.

ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES
There are many extra engine oil additives for sale. Your engine should not need these extra additives if you use the recommended quality engine oil at regular oil change intervals.
