When the oil level reaches the correct range, install the  
cap and tighten it by hand.  
10W–30 a 5W–30 –  
API class multi-range engine oil  
SL "Energy–Conserving", SM "Energy–

NOTICE  
u Be careful not to spill engine oil on vehicle  
components.  
Recommended viscosity (SAE):  
u Do not overfill the engine with oil to avoid  
damaging it.  
u Check the oil level on the dipstick again after  
topping up.  
5W–30 Recommended  
Estimated temperature range before the  
next oil change.  
SAE 5W–30 is the best choice for low fuel  
consumption and good starting in cold weather.  
If you use SAE 10W-30 or higher viscosity oil at very  
low temperatures, the engine may be difficult to  
start, so we recommend using SAE 5W-30 oil.

Oil identification marks  
Estimated temperature range before the  
next oil change.  
Oil containers are labeled with one or both API  
registered marks to assist you in your oil  
selection.  
SAE 5W–30 is the best choice for low fuel  
consumption and good starting in cold weather.  
The API service symbol is located anywhere on the  
outside of the container.  
If you use SAE 10W-30 or higher viscosity oil at very  
low temperatures, the engine may be difficult to  
start, so we recommend using SAE 5W-30 oil.  
The upper part of the label determines the quality of the oil  
according to the API (American Petroleum Institute) with  
the designation, for example, SM. The middle part of the  
label specifies the SAE viscosity grade, such as SAE 5W–30.  
The inscription "Energy-Conserving" in the lower  
part informs that these oils will have better  
properties in terms of fuel saving.
