Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity
engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance; however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfacto-
ry lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage. When choosing an oil, con-
sider the range of temperature your
vehicle will be operated in before the
next oil change. Proceed to select the
recommended oil viscosity from the
chart.

An engine oil displaying this API Certification Mark conforms
to the international Lubricant Specification Advisory
Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils
that uphold this API Certification Mark. Requires grade engine oil, If
a lower grade engine oil(mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine
oil and oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
