SAE
15W-40
As
shown
in
the viscosity chart,
SAE
15W-40
is best for your vehicle.
However, you can use
SAE
1OW-30 if it's going to be colder than
32°F
(0OC)
before your next
oil
change. When it's very cold, below
0°F
(-1
8OC),
you
should use
SAE
1
OW-30
to
improve cold starting.
Also,
SAE
30
may
be
used at temperatures above freezing, 32°F
(OOC).
These numbers
on
the
oil
container show
its
viscosity, or thickness.
Do
not
use other viscosity
oils
such
as
SAE
IOW-40 or
SAE
2OW-50.
