que wrench to 76 f t•lbf (105 N•m, 10.5
kgf
•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels. 
Failure to follow these pre-cautions could cause, the wheel nuts to loosen and the

Fuel
Lubrication system
*5W-30 is an oil that provides optimal levels of fuel efficiency
Oil viscosity
• “5W” oils are for use in ar
eas where the ambient temperature is -13 F (-
25 C) or above. “10W” oils are fo r areas where the ambient tempera -
ture is -4 F (-
20C) or above. Oils with smaller figures are better for
engine starting in cold we ather and fuel efficiency.
• “XX-30” indicates oil viscosity. O ils with lar
ger figures have better ther-
mostability and are good for high-speed driving.
