LUBRICANT
SPECIFICATIONS
Recommended Lubricants
To help achieve proper engine and
powertrain performance and durabili-
ty, use only lubricants of the proper
quality. The correct lubricants also
help promote engine efficiency that
results in improved fuel economy.
Engine oils labeled Energy
Conserving Oil are now available.
Along with other additional benefits,
they contribute to fuel economy by
reducing the amount of fuel neces-
sary to overcome engine friction.
Often, these improvements are diffi-
cult to measure in everyday driving,
but in a year’s time, they can offer sig-
nificant cost and energy savings.
