Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has When choosing an oil, consider the
an effect on fuel economy and cold range of temperature your vehicle
weather operating (engine start and will be operated in before the next oil
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi- change. Proceed to select the rec-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel ommended oil viscosity from the
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage.
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking or draining
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 vis-
cosity grade SAE 5W-30 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4 / ACEA A5).
However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper
engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
