ENGINE OIL
High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the American
Petroleum Institute (API) performance rating is SF, SG, SH, SJ or
higher. Always check the API service label on the oil container for
the performance rating. Do not use special additives.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the range indicated in the chart below.
* Below 40° F (4° C) the use of SAE 30 will result in
hard starting.
** Above 80° F (27° C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
