Oil Identification Symbol
Use only engine oils displaying the ILSAC certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) on the container.

OIL VISCOSITY





The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of the oil. A proper SAE grade number should be selected according to ambient temperature.

NOTE: SAE 5W-20, SAE 5W-30 and SAE 10W-30 engine oil can be used in outdoor temperatures ranging from -18 to 38 °C (0 to 100 °F). However, for optimum fuel economy and cold staffing, select the low SAE viscosity grade oil for the expected temperature range. SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recommended.
