Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity
number
Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain plug,
or dipstick before checking or
draining any lubricant. This is
especially important in dusty or
sandy areas and when the vehicle
is used on unpaved roads.
Cleaning the plug and dipstick
areas will prevent dirt and grit
from entering the engine and
other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operation (engine start and
engine oil flowability). Lower viscosi-
ty engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance, however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather. Using
oils of any viscosity other than those
recommended could result in engine
damage.

1
: For EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA, CHINA
For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20.
- For INDIA, MIDDLE EAST, IRAN, LIBIA, ALGERIA, SUDAN, MOROCCO, TUNISIA, EGYPT
For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-30.
- For Kappa 1.25/1.4 MPI
*
2
: It is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 0W-30
- For Kappa 1.0 T-GDI
However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the
engine oil viscosity chart. It is not recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE
5W-30 for 1.0L T-GDI engine.

When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended
oil viscosity from the chart.
