Generation changes

A redesign can bring a new engine, oil pan, filter housing, or hybrid system that changes the refill amount.

Engine options

Turbo, hybrid, diesel, V6, and base engines may share the same model name but require different oil quantities.

Oil type requirements

Known viscosities on this page include 0W-20, 5W-30; still check the manual for any approval code.

Final level check
