Engine Oil: Fluid Type Specifications
ENGINE OIL TYPE
LOOK FOR THESE THINGS:
1.Your vehicle's engine requires a special oil meeting GM Standard GM4718M. Oils meeting this standard may be identified as synthetic. However, not
all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard. You should look for and use only an oil that meets GM Standard GM4718M.
NOTICE: If you use oils that do not have the GM4718M Standard designation, you can cause engine damage not covered by your warranty.
2.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 on the oil container, and use only those oils that are identified as meeting GM Standard GM4718M and have the starburst
symbol on the front of the oil container.
Your vehicle's engine is filled at the factory with a Mobil 1 synthetic oil, which meets all requirements for your vehicle.
Substitute Engine Oil: When adding oil to maintain engine oil level, oil meeting GM Standard GM4718M may not be available. You can add substitute
oil designated SAE 5W-30 with the starburst symbol at all temperatures. Substitute oil not meeting GM Standard GM4718M should not be used for an
oil change.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES
Do not add anything to your oil. The recommended oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM Standard GM4718M are all you will need for good
performance and engine protection.
