■ Recommended viscosity of engine oil
Based on the table below, please use the one with the viscosity suitable for the outside air temperature.
* 0W-20 is filled when the car is new, and it is the most fuel-efficient in the above table.
This is Il.
About oil viscosity (explained with 0W-20 as an example) :
● 0W of 0W-20 indicates the engine starting characteristics at low temperature. The
smaller the number before W, the easier it is to start the engine in winter or cold
weather.
● 20 of 0W-20 shows the viscosity characteristics at high temperature. Highly
viscous (higher numbers) oils are suitable for high speed or heavy load driving.
