What
Kind
of
Engine Oil
to
Use
Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by
looking for the “Starburst” symbol. This symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Do
not
use any oil which
does
not
carry this Starburst symbol.
If you change your own oil,
be sure you use oil that has
the Starburst symbol on the
front of the oil container. If
you have your oil changed
for you, be sure the
oil
put
into your engine is
American Petroleum
Institute certified for
gasoline engines.
You
should also
use
the
proper viscosity
oil
for
your
vehicle, as shown in the following chart:
