RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES  
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct  
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.  
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

*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 API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.

can provide better fuel economy and cold

viscosity engine oils are required for sat-

oils of any viscosity other than those rec-

CAUTION  
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.

the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper  
engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
