Oil container labels provide important
information.
Look for the American Petroleum
Insti
-
tute
certification mark on the front of
the
oil container. Motor oil displaying the
API
certification trademark
will meet all
requirements for your vehicle’s engine.
Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has
an effect on fuel economy and cold-
weather operation (starting and oil
flow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can pro
-
vide improved fuel economy and cold-
weather performance.
High-temperature weather conditions
require higher-viscosity engine oils for
satisfactory lubrication.
Use SAE 5W-30 motor oil certified for
gasoline
engines by the American
Petro
-
leum Institute.
Do
not
use supplemental engine oil addi
-
tives,
oil treatments or engine treatments.
They are unnecessary and could, under
certain
conditions, lead to engine damage
which is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
Using
oils of viscosity besides those
recommended for specific tempera-
ture ranges could result in engine
damage.
