Engines
SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating
temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended
engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on
engine oil filler cap location, refer to the “Engine Com-
partment” illustration in this section.
Lubricants that do not have both, the engine oil certifi-
cation mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number
should not be used.

SAE 10W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in 3.5L
Engines for all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended
engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on

are followed.
Materials Added to Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad-
