As
shown in the chart,
SAE
1OW-30 is best for your
vehicle. However, you
can
use
SAE
5W-30 if it’s going
to
be colder than
60”
F
(1
6°C)
before your next oil
change. When it’s
very
cold, you should
use
SAE
5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its
viscosity, or thickness.
Do
not use other viscosity oils,
such as
SAE
20W-50.
I
NOTICE:
Use only engine oil with the American Petroleum
Institute Certified
For
Gasoline Engines
“Starburst” symbol. Failure to use the
recommended oil can result in engine damage not
covered by your warranty.
GM
Goodwrench@ oil meets all the requirements for
your vehicle.
If you are in
an
area where the temperature falls below
-20°F
(-29”C),
consider using either an
SAE
5W-30
synthetic oil or an
SAE
OW-30 oil. Both will provide
easier cold starting
and
better protection for your engine
at extremely low temperatures.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your dealer
is
ready to
advise if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has an Oil Life Indicator. This feature
will let you know when to change your oil
and
filter
--
usually between 3,000 miles (5
000
km)
and
7,500
miles (12
500
km)
since your last
oil
change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on
before 3,000 miles (5
000
km).
Never drive your
vehicle more than
7,500
miles
(12
500
km)
or
12
months (whichever occurs first) without an
oil
change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So,
if you
drive
in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles (5
000
km)
or sooner. Remember to reset
the Oil Life Indicator when the oil has been changed.
For more information, see “Oil Life Indicator”
in
the Index.
