What Kind of Engine Oil to Use

Look for three things:

.

GM6094M

Use only an oil that meets
GM Standard GM6094M.

.

SAE 5W-30

SAE 5W-30 is best for the
vehicle. These numbers on an
oil container show its viscosity,
or thickness. Do not use other
viscosity oils such as
SAE 20W-50.

.

American Petroleum Institute
(API) starburst symbol

Oils meeting these requirements
should have the starburst
symbol on the container. This
symbol indicates that the oil has
been certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).

Notice:

Use only engine oil

identified as meeting GM
Standard GM6094M and showing
the American Petroleum Institute
Certified For Gasoline Engines
starburst symbol. Failure to use
the recommended oil can result
in engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Cold Temperature Operation

If in an area of extreme cold, where
the temperature falls below

20°F

(

29°C), use either an SAE 5W-30

synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30
engine oil. Both provide easier cold
starting for the engine at extremely
low temperatures. Always use
an oil that meets the required
specification, GM6094M. See
