Doing Your Own
Service Work
{Warning
It can be dangerous to work on
your vehicle if you do not have the
proper knowledge, service manual,
tools, or parts. Always follow
owner’s manual procedures and
consult the service manual for your
vehicle before doing any
service work.
If doing some of your own service
work, use the proper service manual.
It tells you much more about how to
service the vehicle than this
manual can.
This vehicle has an airbag system.
Before attempting to do your own
service work, see Airbag System
Check 078.
Keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of
any service work performed.

Even small amounts of
contamination can cause damage to
vehicle systems. Do not allow
contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.

meeting the dexos1 specification are
marked with the dexos1
approved logo.
Caution
Failure to use the recommended
engine oil or equivalent can result
in engine damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine
oil for the 2.0L L4 turbo engine (LTG),
3.6 V6 Engine (LGX), and the 3.6L V6
twin turbo engine (LF4).
Use SAE 5W-20 viscosity grade engine
oil for the 2.5L L4 engine (LCV). SAE
0W-20 may be used as an alternative.
Cold Temperature Operation: In an
area of extreme cold, where the
temperature falls below −29 °C(−20 °F), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be
used for the 2.0L L4 turbo engine and
the 3.6L V6 engines. An oil of this
viscosity grade will provide easier cold
starting for the engine at extremely
low temperatures. When selecting an
oil of the appropriate viscosity grade,
it is recommended to select an oil of
the correct specification. See
“Specification
”earlier in this section.
Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil
Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the dexos1
specification are all that is needed for
good performance and engine
protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain
elements that can be unhealthy for
your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on
your skin for very long. Clean your
skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or
properly dispose of clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. See the
manufacturer's warnings about the
use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the
environment. If you change your own
oil, be sure to drain all the oil from
the filter before disposal. Never
dispose of oil by putting it in the trash
or pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of
water. Recycle it by taking it to a place
that collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system
that indicates when to change the
engine oil and filter. This is based on a
combination of factors which include
engine revolutions, engine
temperature, and miles driven. Based
on driving conditions, the mileage at
which an oil change is indicated can
vary considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the system
must be reset every time the oil is
changed.
