SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the
vehicle. SAE 0W-30, 0W-40, or 5W-40 can
also be used. Do not use other viscosity oils
such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50.
In an area of extreme cold, where the tem-
perature falls below -29°C (-20°F), an SAE
0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this vis-
cosity grade will provide easier cold starting
for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
When selecting an oil of the appropriate vis-
cosity grade, be sure to always select oil that
meets the required specification.
