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

What Kind of Engine Oil

to Use

for more information.

Engine Oil Additives / Engine Oil
Flushes

Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils
with the starburst symbol that meet GM Standard
GM6094M are all that is needed for good performance
and engine protection.

Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and
could cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
