GM Goodwrench@
oil (in Canada, GM
Engine Oil) meets all
the requirements for
your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives:
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your
Chevrolet dealer is ready
to advise if you
think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil:
See if any one of these is true for you:
0 Most trips are less than 4 miles (6
km).
It’s below freezing outside and most
trips are less than
10 miles (16 km).
The engine is at low speed most of the
time (as
in door-to-door delivery, or in
stop-and-go traffic).
0 You tow a trailer often.
0 Most trips are through dusty places.
If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, then you need to change your
oil
and filter every 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
or 3 months - whichever comes first. If none
of them is true, change the oil
every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12
months - whichever comes first. Change
the filter at the first oil change and at
every other
oil change after that.
Engine Block Heater:
An engine block heater can be a big help
if you have to park outside in very cold
weather,
0 OF (- 1 8 O C) or colder. If your
vehicle has this option, see “Engine Block
Heater’’
in the Index.

Used oil can be a real threat to the
environment.
If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever
dispose

collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station

recycling center for help.
