Service & Appearance Care
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 Geo 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:
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).
You tow a trailer often.
Most trips are through dusty places.
The vehicle is frequently operated
off-road.
If any one of these is true for your
vehicle, 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 oil and
filter every
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or
7.5 months - whichever comes first.
