Recommended SAE Viscosity Number
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or
dipstick before checking 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 weath-
er operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine
oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, howev-
er, higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot
weather. Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could
result in engine damage.When choosing an oil, consider the range of temper-
ature your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to
select the recommended oil viscosity from the chart.

: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil
of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API SM / ILSAC GF-4
(or above)). However, if the engine oil is not available in your
country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscos-
ity chart.
