Note:
Automatic transmissions that require
MERCON® LV transmission fluid should
only use MERCON® LV transmission fluid. If you are unable to find an engine oil that
meets the specification defined by
WSS-M2C171-E, it is acceptable to use a
SAE 5W-40 engine oil that meets API CJ-4
requirements.
The American Petroleum Institute (API)
service symbol is used to identify the
proper engine oil for your engine. The API
service symbol will be displayed on the oil
container you purchase. The API symbol
displays the oil performance category in
the top half of the symbol and the viscosity
grade in the center of the symbol.
Note:
Do not use more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of
the alternative engine oil between
scheduled service intervals.
Using oil and fluids that do not meet the
defined specification and viscosity grade
may lead to:
• Component damage which may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance. •
Reduced fuel economy.
• Reduced brake performance.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Alternative Oil Viscosity The use of correct oil viscosities is
important for satisfactory operation.
Determine which oil viscosity best suits the
temperature range you expect to
encounter for the next service interval from
the SAE viscosity grade chart.
Note:
For the use of biodiesel fuel (B6 –
B20), use SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4.
