vehicle. However, you can use
SAE

to be colder than
60°F
(

"
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

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

your vehicle.
If you are in an area where the temperature falls below
-20°F
(-29"C),
consider using either an
SAE

SAE
OW-30 oil. Both will provide
easier cold starting and better protection for your engine
at extremely
low
temperatures.
