Engine Oil: Service and Repair
CAUTION: Use only oil with the American Petroleum Institute Certified for Gasoline Engines "Starburst" symbol. Failure to use the recommended oil
can result in engine damage not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: As shown in this chart, SAE 5W-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can use SAE 10W-30 if it's going to be 20° F (-7° C) or above.
These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use engine oil with viscosity rating such as SAE 10W-40, SAE 20W-50 and
30W as it does not meet recommended requirements.
CAUTION: Don't ad anything to your oil.
1.Check engine oil level. The oil level should be 4.76 mm (3/16 inch) above or below the FULL line on the dipstick, after the engine's oil and filter
have been changed. If the oil level is at or below the ADD line, check for oil leaks and add oil up to the FULL line.
NOTE: The cylinder block oil pressure sensor and plug threaded holes in the main oil gallery are not pipe threads. Use only the adapter provided
in the gauge bar kit or a M14 x 1.5 - 6g threaded fitting and seal.
2. Remove oil pressure sensor. A 19 mm (3/4 inch) crowfoot and 3/8 inch wobble drive extension (three inches long) will allow access to the oil
pressure sending unit nut for both removal and torquing.
