What Kind of Engine Oil to Use
Look for these two things:
•
CJ-4 or CI-4
Oils designated as API CJ-4 or CI-4 are
recommended for your vehicle. The CJ-4 or
CI-4 designations may appear either
alone, together, or in combination with other
API designations, such as API CJ-4/SM.
These letters show American Petroleum
Institute (API) levels of quality.
Notice: Use only engine oils that have one of
these designations, CJ-4 or CI-4, for the
diesel engine. Failure to use the recommended
oils can result in engine damage not covered
by your warranty.
