Recommended engine oil viscosity
N00955000070
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor tem-
peratures where you will be driving.Except for vehicles with turbochargerSAE 0W-20 engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum
fuel economy and cold starting.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available the ILSAC certification oil of
other viscosity grades can be temporarily used.
Vehicles with turbochargerNOTESelect engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number
according to the atmospheric temperature.
SAE 0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil are recommended to
use to improve engine startability on a very cold weather
condition.
