When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
t
he tip of the dipstick and the engine has
been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1L of the
recommended oil and then recheck the level.
See “Selecting the Right Engine Oil” later in this
section for an explanation of what kind of oil
to use.
Caution
Do not add too much oil. Oil levels above
o
r below the acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful to the
engine. If you find that you have an oil
level above the operating range, i.e., the
engine has so much oil that the oil level
gets above the upper mark that shows the
proper operating range, the engine could be

Selecting the Right Engine Oil
Selecting the right engine oil depends on both
the proper oil specification and viscosity grade.
Specification
Use full synthetic engine oils that meet the
dexos1 specification. Engine oils that have
been approved by GM as meeting the dexos1
specification are marked with the dexos1
approved logo. See www.gmdexos.com.
Caution
Failure to use the recommended engine oil
o
r equivalent can result in engine damage
not covered by the vehicle warranty.
Viscosity Grade
U
se SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil.
When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, it is recommended to select
an oil of the correct specification. See
“Specification” earlier in this section.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the dexos1
specification are all that is needed for good
performance and engine protection.
