Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (engine start and engine oil flowability).
Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils are
required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated in before the next
oil change.

An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API) Certification
Mark conforms to the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Com-
mittee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this
API Certification Mark.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around
any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick
before checking or draining any lubri-
cant. This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when the vehi-
cle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning
the plug and dipstick areas will prevent
dirt and grit from entering the engine
and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
