As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 5W-30 is best
for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE
1OW-30 if it's going to be 0°F (-18°C) or above.'
These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity,
or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils such as
SAE 2OW-50.
Oils meeting these
requirements should also
have the "Starburst" symbol
on the container.
This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by
the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do not use any
oil which does not carry this Starburst symbol.
