Recommended Lubricants and Capacities

To achieve proper engine and transmission performance and durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. Proper lubricants also contribute to engine efficiency, which improves fuel economy.

These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

Recommended Engine Oil

Recommended SAE Viscosity Index

CAUTION

Always clean the area around the oil filler cap, drain plug or dipstick before checking or draining lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas and when driving on unpaved roads. Cleaning the filler cap and dipstick area prevents dirt and sand from entering the engine and other mechanisms, which could be damaged.

The viscosity (thickness) of engine oil affects fuel economy and cold weather operation (engine starting and oil flow). Lower viscosity engine oils may provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, while higher viscosity engine oils are necessary for adequate lubrication in hot weather. Using oil of any viscosity other than the recommended one may cause engine damage.

When selecting oil, consider the temperature range in which your vehicle will be operated until the next oil change.

Refer to the table to select the recommended oil viscosity.

• For better fuel economy, use engine oil with the following viscosity rating.
- For Europe: SAE 0W-30
- Except Europe: SAE 5W-30

* However, if engine oil is not available in your country, select a suitable engine oil according to the engine oil viscosity table.

• For better fuel economy, use engine oil with the following viscosity rating.
- For Europe: SAE 0W-30
- Except Europe: SAE 5W-30
