Recommended SAE viscosity
number

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory 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 recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
