ENGINE OIL

CAUTION

Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.
Oil Identification Symbol
Use only engine oils displaying the ILSAC certification mark
("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 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 starting, select
the low SAE viscosity grade oil for the expected temperature
range. SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended.

SELECTION OF COOLANT

.

COOLANT

Relationship between Coolant Concentration and Specific Gravity

CAUTION

• If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely

affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling
properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain
the concentration level within the specified range.

• Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.

Example
The safe operating temperature is

−15°C (5° F) when the specific gravity is 1.058 at the coolant temperature

of 20
