’ ~ “.SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving Oil
In order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are
readily available and can be identified by such labels as “EnergyConserving”,“Energy Saving”,“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.
/”SAE
5W-20 Not recommended for sustained
high speed vehicle operation.**SAE
5W-30 may be used for operation in very
cold weather areas where the lowest atmos-
pheric temperature is below
-23°C (-10°F).
