NOTICE
Conserving  Oil   are  now  available.
Along with  other additional  benefits,
they  contribute to  fuel  economy  by
reducing  the amount  of fuel  neces-
sary   to  overcome   engine  friction.
Often, these  improvements are diffi-
cult to  measure in  everyday driving,
but  in a  year’s  time,  they can  offer
significant cost and energy savings.
To  help achieve  proper  engine and
powertrain performance and durabil-
ity, use  only lubricants of  the proper
quality.  The  correct  lubricants  also
help  promote engine  efficiency  that
results in improved fuel economy.

Always  be  sure  to   clean  the  area
around  any filler  plug,  drain  plug,
or   dipstick    before    checking    or
draining any lubricant. This is espe-
cially  important  in dusty  or  sandy
areas  and when  the vehicle  is  used
on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick  areas will  prevent dirt
and  grit  from  entering  the  engine
and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended  for use in your vehicle.
