API Classifications of Engine Oil
The American Petroleum Institute (API) and In-
ternational Lubricant Standardization and Ap-
proval Committe (ILSAC) classifies engine oils
according to their performance (quality). Always
use oil rated API-SH (ILSAC GF-I) or better.
* How to check engine oil specification
Example:
0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
Summer oil viscosity
Winter oil viscosity
(W: Winter)
• The numerical, for example SAE 10W, relates
to viscosity at particular temperature and the
alphabet "W" indicates the oil's suitability for
colder temperature.
For summer oil viscosity, higher numbers mean
higher viscosities.

SJ (or better grade) and/or ACEA A2/A3 oil may be used, however it would
be rather recommended to shorten the change interval around 30%.

The viscosity should be selected according to outside temperature. Do
not switch to a different viscosity in the event of brief temperature fluctua-
