As
shown
in

is best
for your vehicle. However, you can use
SAE

if
it’s
going to be
0°F
(-1

or above. These numbers on an
oil
container show its viscosity, or
thickness.
Do
not use other viscosity oils,
such
as
SAE
IOW-40
or
SAE
2OW-SO.
If
you cannot find oils
with
the new
“starburst” symbol on the front of the

you
should look for and use
oils containing the following three things:
Ski
or
SG
“SH” or
“SG”
must
be on the oil
container, either
by
itself or combined
with
other quality designations, such
as
“SHKD,”
“SH,SG,CD,”
“SGKD,”
etc. These letters show American
Petroleum Institute (API) levels of
quality.

If
you cannot find oils
with
the
“starburst” symbol, you should
look
for
lils

the doughnut shaped
symbol,
;.ontaining the three things noted above.
NOTICE:

you
use
oils that do not
have
either
the “starburst” symbol or
an

you
can cause
engine damage not covered
by
your
