What Kind of Engine Oil to Use

Oils recommended for your vehicle can be
identified by looking for the starburst sym-
bol.
This symbol indicates that the oil has been
certified by the American Petroleum Insti-
tute (API). Do not use any oil which does
not carry this starburst symbol.
If you choose to perform the engine oil
change service yourself, be sure the oil
you use has the starburst symbol on the
front of the oil container. If you have your
oil changed for you, be sure the oil put into
your engine is American Petroleum Insti-
tute certified for gasoline engines.
You should also use the proper viscosity
oil for your vehicle, as shown in the viscos-
ity chart.
