manual shows ( sae5w 30) , but i think its conventional oil, api, in owners manual shows sa. I was at advanced and couldnt find sa on any api label no api sa is it ok to use any 5w 30 conventional motor oil? also saw sn sn+ with the ils5ac and something else . this was my first time having to add oil to this vehicle as i have only had it for about 6000 miles.i know you have to use one or the other as i thought about switching it to full synthetic
This is the API certification.
SAE 5W30 is just the oil thickness
The SN/SN+ and ILSAC oils probably meet and exceed your vehicle oil requirements
thanks for the reply i know 5w 30 is the viscosity my question is the api says SA in the owners manual
so my question is what other api is equal or ok to use for conventional oil api? sn ,sn+ the label on the back of the bottles has the api cert with the letters sa at the 1:00 oclock position
I am getting very confused. You original question says "in owners manual shows sa". I downloaded your manual, and I don't see 'SA' mentioned anywhere. Only SAE
You also said "I couldnt find sa on any api label" Then later you say "the label on the back of the bottles has the api cert with the letters sa at the 1:00 oclock position". Are you messing with me?
'SA' was used a hundred years ago.
In the manual - recommended lubricants I see ILSAC and API SN.
