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 viscos
-
ity engine oils can provide better
fuel economy and cold weather per
-
formance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac
-
tory 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.
