Oil Filter
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weighl. Select the oil for
your vehicle according to this chart:
Ambient Temperature
100 F
40c-30 -20 -10
An oil with a viscosity of 5 W - 30 is preferred for
improved fuel economy and year-round protection in
the vehicle. You may use a 10 W - 30 oil if the climate in
your area is limited to the temperature range shown on
the chart.
