Engine Oil Type Ambient Temperature
10W30 Below 23° F (-5° C)
15W40 Above 23° F (-5° C)
IMPORTANT: The use of quality engine oil combined with
appropriate oil and filter change intervals are critical factors
in maintaining engine performance and durability. The use
of multi-viscosity, 15W40, oil is recommended for most
climates. Low viscosity, 10W30, oil may be used at colder
temperatures. However, continuous use of low viscosity oil
may decrease engine life due to wear.
