■ Engine oil viscosity
● The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for eas-
ier starting of the engine in cold weather.
● The 50 in 5W-50 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating tem-
perature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
NOTICE
■ To prevent engine damage
If “Mobil 1 5W-50” is not available, another oil of equivalent quality to “Mobil 1
5W-50” may be used. In this case, do not start the engine if the engine coolant or
oil temperature is below 5F (-15C), and do not drive the vehicle under extreme
load conditions.
