Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature  your vehicle will be operat-
ed in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil viscosity from
the chart.
CAUTION
3.8L(MPI)/4.6L(MPI)/5.0L(GDI)
Always  be  sure  to  clean  the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick  before  checking or  drain-
ing any lubricant. This is  especially
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.

. For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-
(API SM/ILSAC GF-4/ACEA A5). However, if the engine oil is not available in your coun-
try, select the proper engine oil using  the engine oil viscosity chart.

Engine  oil  viscosity  (thickness) has  an
effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating  (engine  start  and  engine   oil
flowability).  Lower  viscosity  engine  oils
can provide better fuel economy and cold
weather  performance,   however,  higher
viscosity engine oils are required for  sat-
isfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those rec-
ommended could  result  in engine  dam-
age.
*2. In Middle East, do not use the engine  oil of viscosity grade SAE 5W-20.
