CAUTION: Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.

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





If these oils are not available, an API classification SL or SL/CF can be used.

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.
