When choosing an oil, consider the
temperature range your vehicle will
operate in before the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity
from this chart.

wRecommended Oil
Oil container labels provide important
information.
CAUTION
Using oils of viscosity besides those
recommended for specific temperature
ranges could result in engine damage.

Energy conserving oils are recommended.
A chief contribution they make to fuel
economy is reducing the amount of fuel
necessary to overcome engine friction.

Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
The quality designation SG, SH, SJ, SL,
or ILSAC must be on the label.
Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an
effect on fuel economy and cold-weather
operation (starting and oil flow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can provide
improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.
But high-temperature weather conditions
require higher-viscosity engine oils for
satisfactory lubrication.
Turn it off and wait 5 minutes for the
oil to return to the oil pan.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Mazda MX 5 Miata Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. No matter what I do this will not download. I have followed all instructions and even the instructions for override because Windows states this software has undesirable problems ( but it makes the same claim for all Mazda Manuals I've found on the net) Now I am also unablre to review pages of the manual. I'm being stopped at the cover. I need access to this manual. Please help.
