NOTE:
SAE 5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 engine
oil is preferred regardless of regional
option and engine variation. If SAE 5W-20,
ILSAC GF-3 engine oil is not available,
secondary recommended engine oil for
corresponding temperature range can be
used.

The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil
level may result in irreparable damage being
sustained by the engine. The engine oil level
must be checked on a daily basis, whenever
the vehicle is refuelled or before starting a
long trip, whichever occurs sooner.
OWNER MAINTENANCE
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used
to avoid the possibility of serious engine dam-
age and premature wear. The use of "budget
price" oil is a false economy that must be
avoided if the maximum reliability and useful
life is to be obtained from the vehicle.
The engine oil quality should meet the follow-
ing classification:
API class: CH-4 or ABOVE
ACEA class: B4 or ABOVE
NOTE:
SAE 0W-30 oil is for use in very cold
zones. Its use should therefore be re-
stricted only to driving in these type of
sub-zero conditions. (Especially, not rec-
ommended for sustained high engine load
and high speed operation.)

The engine oil level should be checked with
the engine at normal operating temperature
and the vehicle parked upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the vehicle should
be allowed to stand for several minutes after the
engine has been switched off to allow the oil to
drain back to the sump.
