Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations

Usage Fluid/Lubricant
Engine Oil The engine requires engine oil approved to the dexos™ specification. Oils meeting this specification can be identified with the dexos™ certification mark. Look for and use only an engine oil that displays the dexos™ certification mark of the proper viscosity grade. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50.
Engine Coolant 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and use only DEX-COOL Coolant.
