As
shown in the chart,
SAE
5W-30 is best for your
vehicle. However, you can use
SAE
1OW-30 if it’s going
to be
0°F
(-
18
O
C)
or above. These numbers on
an
oil
container show its viscosity, or thickness.
Do
not use
other viscosity oils, such as
SAE
20W-50.
r
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
If
any
one of these is true for you, use the short tripkity
maintenance schedule:
e
e
e
e
e
Most trips are less than
5
to 10 miles
(8
to
16
km).
This is particularly important when outside
temperatures are below freezing.
Most trips include extensive idling (such as frequent
driving in stop-and-go traffic).
Most trips are through dusty areas.
You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of
your vehicle.
The
vehicle is used
for
delivery service, police, taxi
or other commercial application.
Driving under these conditions causes engine oil to
break down sooner. If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, then you need
to
change your oil and filter
every
3,000
miles
(5
000
km)
or
3
months
--
whichever
occurs first.
