How to Use This Spec

1

Drain old oil completely. Reinstall drain plug, torque to 27 ft-lb.

2

Install new oil filter (OEM: 90915-YZZC2). Pre-lubricate the gasket with clean oil.

3

Add about 3.9 quarts of 5W-30 synthetic blend oil first, then top off gradually.

4

Warm the engine, wait a few minutes, then verify oil level using the dipstick or in-vehicle oil level display if equipped. Reset the oil life monitor if equipped.

warningImportant Notes
  • • Always verify with your OEM owner's manual. Specifications may vary by trim level and production date.
  • • 0W-20 is approved only as a temporary alternative when 5W-30 is unavailable.
  • • The drain plug gasket should be inspected and replaced if deformed.
