Engine Oil: Application and ID



^ Engine oils are graded according to their viscosity. The proper grade to be used in your engine depends on existing climatic or seasonal conditions.

^ The engine oil which was first put into the engine has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-40. Use this oil over all temperature ranges for normal driving. If engine oil viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 is not available, SAE 5W-30 can also be used.
