DO NOT USE SAE 2OW.50

ANY OTHER
GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED
As shown in the chart, if you have a 1.6L (Code 6)
engine, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle. However,
you can use SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than
60°F (16" C) before your next oil change. When it's
very cold, you should use SAE 5W-30. These numbers
on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do
no use other viscosity oils, such as
SAE 20W-50.
