Engine Oil: Service and Repair

SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL 

Recommended API classification: SD OR ABOVE SE OR ABOVE [For EEC.]  

Recommended SAE viscosity grades:

NOTE: For best performance and for maximum protection for all types of operation, select only those lubricants which: 
1. Confirm to the requirements of the API classification. 
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. Lubricants which do not have both a SAE grade number and an API

2. Stop the engine.

3. Remove the oil filler cap (on rocker cover) and the drain plug (on the oil pan). Drain the engine oil.
4. Re-install and tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.
