Notice: Using engine oils of any viscosity other than
those viscosities recommended could result in
engine damage.
Motor oil viscosity has an effect on fuel economy and
cold-weather operation (starting and oil flow). Lower
viscosity motor oils can provide better fuel economy
and cold-weather performance.
When choosing an motor oil, consider the range of
outdoor temperatures the vehicle will be operated in
before the next oil change. Then select the
recommended oil viscosity.
The recommended SAE motor oil viscosity is 5W-30.
However, if outdoor temperatures will remain above
-18°C (0°F), 1 OW-30 may be used.

In areas of the world other than North America, it may
be difficult to find oils that display the API
STARBURST symbol.
If you cannot find oils displaying the API STARBURST,
look for oils that meet the API Service SJ and
ACEA A3 - 96 requirements.

The recommended SAE engine oil viscosity is 5W-30,
however, additional engine oil viscosites meeting
the API Service SJ and ACEA A3 - 96 requirements
may be used in accordance with the
temperature ranges shown.
