LUBRICANT SELECTION
ENGINE OIL





CAUTION:
Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.

Oil Identification Symbol
Use only engine oils displaying the ILSAC certification mark ("Starburst" symbol) on the container.





If these oils are not available, an API classification SL or SL/CF can be used.

OIL VISCOSITY





The SAE grade number indicates the viscosity of the oil. A proper SAE grade number should be selected according to ambient temperature.

SELECTION OF COOLANT

COOLANT





Relationship between Coolant Concentration and Specific Gravity

CAUTION:
- If the concentration of the coolant is below 30%, the anti-corrosion property will be adversely affected. In addition, if the concentration is above 60%, both the anti-freeze and engine cooling properties will decrease, affecting the engine adversely. For these reasons, be sure to maintain the concentration level within the specified range.
- Do not use a mixture of different brands of anti-freeze.
Example
The safe operating temperature is -15°C (5°F) when the specific gravity is 1.058 at the engine coolant temperature of 20°C (68°F)
