CAUTION
w Recommended Oil
Using oils of viscosity besides those
recommended for specific temperature
ranges could result in engine damage.
Oil container labels provide important
information.
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.
Warm up the engine to normal
operating temperature.
(ILSAC)
Turn it off and wait 5 minutes for the
oil to return to the oil pan.
The quality designation SL or ILSAC
must be on the label.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.
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.
2.3-liter engine
But high-temperature weather conditions
require higher-viscosity engine oils for
satisfactory lubrication.
