WEATHER
..
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
(
16
"
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.

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.
