Oil" or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 5W-30
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE
10W-30 oil may be used. However, it
should be replaced with SAE 5W-30
at the next oil change.

starting of the engine in cold
weather.
• The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the vis-
cosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil
with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
