SAE

As

shown in the viscosity chart,

SAE

15

W-40

is best for your vehicle.

However, you can use

SAE

low-30

if

it’s

going

to

be colder than

32°F

(0°C)

before your next oil change. When

it’s

very

cold, below

0°F

(-1

8”C), you should use

SAE

IOW-30 to improve cold starting.

Also, SAE

30 may be used at temperatures above freezing,

32°F

(0°C).

These

numbers on the oil container show

its

viscosity, or thickness.

Do

not use other viscosity

oils

such as

SAE

10W-40 or

SAE

20W-50.
