1993 CHEVROLET CAVALIER oil viscosity

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Pressure Gage (opTIoN)
The oil pressure gage shows the engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per square
inch) when the engine is running.
Canadian vehicles indicate pressure
in
kpa. Oil pressure may vary with engine
speed, outside temperature, and oil
viscosity, but readings above the red
warning zone indicate the normal
operating range.
A reading in the red zone may be caused
by a dangerously low oil level
or other
problem causing low oil pressure. Have
your vehicle serviced immediately.
I
Don’t keep driving if the oil
3 pressure is low. If you do,
your engine can become so hot that
it catches fire. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.

As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE
5W-30 is best for your vehicle.
However, you can use
SAE 1OW-30 if
it's going to be 0" F (-18" C) or above.
These numbers on
an oil container show
its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use
other viscosity oils such as
SAE 1OW-40
or SAE 20W-50.
Energy Conserving II
Oils with these words on the container
will help you save fuel.
This doughnut-shaped logo (symbol) is
used on most
oil containers to help you
select the correct oil.
You should look for this on the oil
container, and use
only those oils that
display the logo.
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.
