Diesel engine

Engine oils are graded according to their viscosity. The proper grade to be used depends on existing climatic or seasonal conditions.

The original oil has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W - 40. Use this oil over all temperature ranges for normal driving. If engine oil viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 is not available, use SAE 5W -30.
