CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity .
Refer to “ Engine Oil ” FP504 .
NOTE
Engine oil viscosity ( thickness ) affects fuel economy . Oils of lower viscosity provide better fuel economy . However , in hot weather , oil of higher viscosity is required to properly lubricate the engine .
& Synthetic Oil s11ae05
You should use synthetic engine oil that meets the same requirements given for conventional engine oil . When using synthetic oil , you must use oil of the same classification , viscosity and grade shown in this Owner ’ s Manual . Refer to “ Engine Oil ” FP504 .

WARNING
. Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has been shut off and has cooled down completely . Since the coolant is under pressure , you may suffer serious burns from a spray of boiling hot coolant when the cap is removed .
. Be careful of the rotating cooling fan when the engine hood is open . When the engine temperature is high , the cooling fan in the engine compartment may operate when the ignition switch is in the “ ON ” position , even if the engine is stopped . Touching the cooling fan while it is rotating may result in injury .
