Key West or Alaska.? (the -4f rule is clear)
the opr. guide explains all that... by climate.
page 5-8 in fact does that.
ill post it now.
and the words.
"• SAE 5W-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE
5W-30 is the only viscosity grade recommended
for your vehicle. However, if it's
going to be -4°F (-20°C) or above and
SAE 5W-30 is not available, you may use
SAE 10W-30.
These numbers on an oil container show
its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use
other viscosity oil such as SAE 10W-40
or SAE 20W-50 under any conditions."




buy the guide and not get stranded for simple things ?
