LIH 1.2L (Version 2) L3 Engine

If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
the tip of the dipstick and the engine has
been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1 L
(1 qt) of the recommended oil and then
recheck the level. See

Selecting the Right

Engine Oil

explanation of what kind of oil to use. For

Caution

Do not add too much oil. Oil levels above
or 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 MAX mark, the engine
could be damaged. You should drain out

vehicle and seek a service professional to
remove the excess amount of oil.

for

the location of the engine oil fill cap.

Add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range between the
MIN and MAX marks. Push the dipstick all
the way back in when through.

Selecting the Right Engine Oil

Selecting the right engine oil depends on
both the proper oil specification and
viscosity grade. See

.

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 or equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.

Viscosity Grade

Use SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade engine oil for
1.3L L3 engine.

Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil for
1.2L L3 engine. Cold Temperature Operation:
In an area of extreme cold, where the
temperature falls below

29 °C (

20 °F), an

SAE 0W-30 oil may be used for the 1.2L L3
engine. An oil of this viscosity grade will
provide easier cold starting for the engine at
extremely low temperatures.

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.
