NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change in-
tervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or six months,
whichever occurs first.

Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection under all

types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only

recommends full synthetic engine oils that meet the

American Petroleum Institute (API) categories of SN.
The manufacturer recommends the use of a full synthetic

SAE 0W-40 engine oil or equivalent.

CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the
chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Engine Oil Viscosity
SAE 0W-40 Full Synthetic engine oil is preferred for use

in all operating temperatures.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended

engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on

engine oil filler cap location, refer to “Engine Compart-

ment” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-

tion.
Synthetic Engine Oils
You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-

mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom-

mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes

are followed.
