You will have the option of usinG5W-30 or 5W-40 motor oil but either one You use will need to be synthetic. If You live in a cold climate then You can use 10W-30 motor oil in order to avoid the oil freezing inside the vehicle. The oil drain plug will have a head size of 17mm and will require 30 ft-lbs of torque in order to remove it if You are using a torque wrench. If You only have hand tools You will need to use a 17mm socket.
