NOTICE
Always be sure to clean the filler-plug area, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant.This  is especially important in dusty
or  sandy areas  or  after driving  on  an  unpaved road.  The practice  to
maintain the  plug and dipstick  areas clean  prevents dirt and  grit from
entering the engine or the other mechanisms, which  may be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity  (thickness) effects the fuel economy  and the driving in a
cold weather (engine  start and engine  oil flow). Engine oils  of the lower vis-
cosity improves the fuel economy and driving performance in a cold  weather.
However, engine oil of  the higher viscosity are required  for sufficient lubrica-
tion in a hot weather.
Using oils out of  the recommended viscosity may damage the engine. When
choosing  an oil,  consider  the range  of  temperature, in  which  your vehicle
drives. Find the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.

For the better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil
of a  viscosity grade  SAE 5W-20 (API  Service SM  / ILSAC  GF-4).
However, when this engine  oil is unavailable in your country, select
a proper engine, using the engine oil  viscosity chart.
