Engine Oil

Check the oil level BEFORE EACH

equivalent). Always check the API
SERVICE label on the oil container
to be sure it includes the letters SJ
or later (or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
