RECOMMENDED SAE
VISCOSITY NUMBER
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operation (starting and oil flow). Lower
viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather performance,
however, higher viscosity engine oils are
required for satisfactory lubrication in hot
weather. Using oils of any viscosity other
than those recommended could result in
engine damage.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

NOTICE
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug,
or dipstick before checking or
draining any lubricant. This is
especially important in dusty or
sandy areas and when the vehicle is
used on unpaved roads. Cleaning
the plug and dipstick areas will
prevent dirt and grit from entering
the engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.
