If the above recommended specification oil is not available, SAE 0W-30 grade synthetic oil can be used. If mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil is used, it is a severe maintenance condition in terms of engine oil change.
Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
Requires <API Latest (or ILSAC Latest) or ACEA A5/B5 Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used. Then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications.
If the front/rear differential is submerged, visit an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products to immediately replace the differential oil.
Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential Oil (if equipped with Limited Slip Differential).
