What Kind of Engine Oil to Use
Look for two things:
•
GM6094M
Your vehicle’s engine requires oil meeting standard
GM6094M. You should look for and use only an oil
that meets standard GM6094M.
•
SAE 5W-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 5W-30 is best
for your vehicle.
These numbers on an oil container show its
viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity
oils such as SAE 20W-50.
Oils meeting these
requirements should
also have the starburst
symbol on the container.
This symbol indicates that
the oil has been certified
by the American Petroleum
Institute (API).
You should look for this information on the oil container,
and use only those oils that are identified as meeting
standard GM6094M and have the starburst symbol
on the front of the oil container.
Notice: Use only engine oil identified as meeting
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
your warranty.
