Fuel  
Refer to “Fuel requirements” in Foreword chapter  
*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.  
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing  
the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s  
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.  
*3 : If the ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use ILSAC GF-3 (or above) or ACEA A3 (or above).  
*4 : If the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.  
*5 : If the ACEA C2 or C3, B4 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API CH-4 (or above).  
*6 : Manual transaxle  
*7 : Automatic transaxle  
*8 : For U2 1.7 (M/T) lowest fuel consumption pack

Always be sure to clean the area  
around any filler plug, drain  
plug, or dipstick before check-  
ing 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.

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 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.
