Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
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.
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 replace the differential oil.
Severe engine and transmission damage may result from the use of poor quality fuels and lubricants that do not meet Genesis Branded Vehicle specifications. Always use high quality fuels and lubricants that meet the specifications listed in the recommended table.
