Recommended lubricants and capacities

To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only

lubricants of the proper quality.

The correct lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in improved

fuel economy.

These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

*1. Use only specified genuine automatic transmission fluid. The use of non-specified

(even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality deterioration

and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure. (Refer to "Explanation of sched

uled maintenance items" on page 7-13")

*2. Different type of coolant or water may damage the electrical component.

An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API) Certification

Mark conforms to the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Com

mittee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this

API Certification Mark.

CAUTION

Always be sure to clean the area around

any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick

before checking or draining any lubri

cant. This is especially important in

dusty or sandy areas and when the vehi

cle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning

the plug and dipstick areas will prevent

dirt and grit from entering the engine

and other mechanisms that could be

damaged.

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an

effect on fuel economy and cold

weather operating (engine start and

engine oil flow ability). Lower viscosity

engine oils can provide better fuel econ

omy and cold weather performance,

however, higher viscosity engine oils are

required for satisfactory lubrication in

hot weather.

Using oils of any viscosity other than

those recommended could result in

engine damage.

When choosing an oil, consider the

range of temperature your vehicle will

be operated in before the next oil

change. Proceed to select the recom

mended oil viscosity from the chart.
