ÿ Engine oil recommended viscosity
Based on the chart below, use the one with the viscosity that is suitable for the outside temperature.
*
0W-20 is filled when the car is new, and it is the most fuel-saving oil shown
in the above chart.
Regarding oil viscosity (0W-20 is used as an example): • 0W in
0W-20 indicates engine starting characteristics at low temperatures. The smaller
the number before W, the easier it is to start the engine in winter or in cold weather.
• 20 in 0W-20 indicates viscosity characteristics at high temperature.
Oils with high viscosity (high numbers) are suitable for high speed or heavy loads.
