DO NOT USE SAE 1OW-40 GRADE OIL OR
ANY OTHER GRADE NOT RECOMMENDED
S A E 1OW-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, S A E low-30 is best for your vehicle.
However, you can use S A E 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60°F
(16" C) before your next oil change. When it's very cold, below 0°F
(-18OC), you should use SAE 5W-30.
These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not
use other viscosity oils such as SAE 1OW-40 or S A E 20W-50.
