API (American Petroleum Institution) Service
Category CI
–4 specifications minimum or better
in your engine. Also, look for SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) viscosity grade. Refer to
Figure 5 to select viscosity grade according to
ambient temperatures. Multi-grade oils like SAE
15W
–40 is recommended for using all year long.
