LUBRICANT SELECTION



ENGINE OIL



caution Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.
Use only engine oils displaying the ILSAC certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) on the container.

If these oils are not available, an API classification SN 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.
