6-1. Specifications Lubrication system n Specified engine oil for the LFA Oil capacity*1 (Amount of oil required for an oil change ⎯ reference) Oil brand*2 Recommended API grade With twin air-cooled oil cooler 18.0 qt. (17.0 L, 15.0 Imp. qt.) With single air-cooled oil cooler 16.9 qt. (16.0 L, 14.1 Imp. qt.) "Mobil 1 5W-50" SM or SN *1: The oil filters used are exclusive to the LFA. When the oil is changed, the oil filters should also be replaced. *2: The lifetime of the vehicle depends greatly on the quality of oil used. The use of "Mobil 1 5W-50" is most suitable for your vehicle and is recommended. n Engine oil viscosity l The 5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather. l The 50 in 5W-50 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating tem- perature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions. 6 NOTICE Vehicle specifications n To prevent engine damage If "Mobil 1 5W-50" is not available, another oil of equivalent quality to "Mobil 1 5W-50" may be used. In this case, do not start the engine if the engine coolant or oil temperature is below 5°F (-15°C), and do not drive the vehicle under extreme load conditions. 361
