LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS
Recommended Lubricants
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper
quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
Engine oils labeled 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.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
