Oil Viscosity

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of the oil. A proper SAE grade number should be selected according to ambient temperature.

NOTE:

SAE 5W-30 engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold starting.
If engine oil other than 5W-30 is used, the engine may be seized by poor lubrication.
