Maintenance and care
■ Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near the
low line, add engine oil of the same
type as already in the engine.
Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before
adding.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Return the filler cap and turn the cap clockwise until you hear a
click.
It takes about 1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp.qt.) to raise the oil level from low to full
on the dipstick.
■ Recommended viscosity
Temperature range anticipated before next oil change.
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy, and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 oil is not available,
SAE 10W-30 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced
with SAE 5W-30 at the next oil
change.
Oil grade ILSAC multigrade engine oil
Items Clean funnel (only for adding oil)
