extreme heat.
If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or cause failure
of the tape player.

What Kind of Oil to Use
Beginning midyear 1993, oils of the proper quality for
your vehicle
will be identified with this new “starburst”
symbol. The “starburst” symbol indicates that the
oil has
been certified by the American Petroleum Institute
(API), and is preferred for use in your gasoline engine.
You should look for this on the front of the oil container,
and
use only oils that display this new symbol.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your
vehicle, as shown
in the following chart:
