Standard GM6094M. You should look for and use
only an oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M.

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
certi ed by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).
You should look for this information on the oil container,
and useonlythose oils that are identi ed as meeting
