Where can you find the manufacturer's recommended oil type?

The manufacturer's recommended oil type can be found in several reliable sources, one of which is the owner's manual. Each vehicle's owner's manual contains specific guidelines and recommendations from the manufacturer regarding the proper maintenance of the vehicle, including the type of oil that should be used. This ensures that the engine runs smoothly and maintains optimal performance.

Additionally, the oil cap often has information or specifications about the type of oil recommended for that specific engine. It's a quick reference point that can help technicians and vehicle owners alike to ensure they are using the appropriate oil.

The point of sale (POS) computer might also provide access to databases or manufacturer specifications, helping to confirm the right oil type based on the vehicle's make and model during service. This combination of the owner's manual, information on the oil cap, and the access provided by the POS system ensures that accurate and up-to-date information about oil types is readily available for proper vehicle care.
