Recommended Lubricants and Fluids
MA-14spec tableCapacities and recommended fluids cover GA & E series, SR20DE, SR20DET (gasoline) and CD17, CD20 (diesel) engines. Engine-oil API grade varies by region (Europe vs except for Europe) and turbo/non-turbo. Manual transaxles: RN4F30A, RS5F30A, RS5F31A, RS5F32A, RS5F50A. Transfer/differential gear oil applies to 4WD models only (GA16DS and SR20DET).
