What Kind of Engine Oil to Use
Look for these two things:
•
CI-4 or CH-4
Oils designated as API CI-4 or CH-4 are
recommended for your vehicle. The CI-4 or CH-4
designations may appear either alone, together or in
combination with other API designations, such as
API CI-4/SL.
These letters show American Petroleum
Institute (API) levels of quality.
Notice: Use only engine oils that have one of these
designations CI-4 or CH-4 for the DURAMAX™ diesel
engine. Failure to use the recommended oils can
result in engine damage not covered by your
warranty.
•
SAE 15W-40
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 15W-40 is
best for your vehicle. However, you can use
SAE 10W-30 at temperatures above 0°F (
−
18°C).
When it’s very cold, below 0°F (
−
18°C), you should
use SAE 5W-40 to improve cold starting.
These numbers on the oil container show its
viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity
oils such as SAE 10W-40 or SAE 20W-50.
This doughnut-shaped
logo (symbol) is used on
most oil containers to
help you select the correct
oil. It means that the oil
has been certified by
the American Petroleum
Institute.
You should look for this on the oil container, and use
only those oils that display this logo.
