*1 :
Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on this page.
*2 :
Engine oils labelled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 :
If the above recommended specification oil is not available, SAE 0W-30 grade synthetic
oil can be used. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used, it is a severe maintenance
condition in terms of engine oil change.
*4 :
If the above recommended specification oil is not available, SAE 0W-30/5W-30 grade
synthetic oil can be used. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used, it is a severe
maintenance condition in terms of engine oil change.
*5 :
To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend
that you use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications.
*6 :
If the front/rear differential is submerged, we recommend that you visit a authorised
Retailer of Genesis Branded Products to replace the differential oil.
Recommended SAE viscosity number
CAUTION
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.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). 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.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be operated
in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
