Recommended Oil

Engine oil is essential to the perfor-
mance and service of the engine. It is
suggested that you check the oil level
at least once a week in normal use
and more often if you are on a trip or
driving in severe conditions.
The engine oil quality should meet
the following classification.
API SJ, SL or ABOVE,
ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE
NOTE:
o For good fuel economy, SAE
5W-20 (5W-30), ILSAC GF-3 en-
gine oil is preferred regardless
of regional option and engine
variation.
o If SAE 5W-20, ILSAC GF-3 en-
gine oil is not available, second-
ary recommended engine oil for
corresponding temperature
range can be used.

Before checking the oil, warm up the
engine to the normal operating tem-
perature and be sure it is parked on
level ground. Turn the engine off.
Wait five minutes, then remove the
dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the
dipstick and withdraw it again. Then
note the highest level the oil has
reached on the dipstick. It should be
between the upper ("F") and lower
("L") range.
