As
shown
in
the chart,
SAE
1OW-30
is best for your vehicle. However,
you can use
SAE
5W-30
if
it's going to be colder than
60
OF
(16
C)
before your next
oil
change. When it's very cold, you should
use
SAE
5W-30.
These numbers
on
an oil container show its viscosity,
or

Do
not use other viscosity oils, such as
SAE
1OW-40
or
SAE
2OW-50.
