As
shown
in
the
chart, if
you
have the
3800
engine,
SAE
low-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

an
oil container show its viscosity,

Do
not use other viscosity oils, such
as
SAE

If

in

area where the temperature falls below
-20°F
(-29”C),
consider
using
either
an
SAE
SW-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.
