Fuel Additives
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
is highly recommended for use
with your vehicle. If your
country does not have TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline, add
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline to
the vehicle’s gasoline fuel tank
at every oil change or
15 000 km (9,000 mi),
whichever occurs first. TOP
TIER Detergent Gasoline and
ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus−Gasoline will
help keep your vehicle’s
engine fuel deposit free and
performing optimally.
Filling the Tank
An arrow on the fuel gauge
indicates which side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on. See
Fuel Gauge 0122.
{Warning
Fuel vapors and fuel fires
burn violently and can cause
injury or death.
Follow these guidelines to
help avoid injuries to you
and others:
.Read and follow all the
instructions on the fuel
pump island.
.Turn off the engine when
refueling.
.Keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away
from fuel.

(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not re-enter the
vehicle while pumping fuel.
.Keep children away from
the fuel pump and never
let children pump fuel.
.Before touching the fill
nozzle, touch a metallic
object to discharge static
electricity from your body.
.Fuel can spray out if the
fill nozzle is inserted too
quickly. This spray can
happen if the tank is
nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Insert
the fill nozzle slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to
stop before beginning to
flow fuel.

334 Vehicle Care
Selecting the Right
Engine Oil
Selecting the right engine oil
depends on both the proper
oil specification and viscosity
grade. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants0429.
Specification
Use full synthetic engine oils
that meet the dexos1
specification.
Engine oils that have been
approved by GM as meeting
the dexos1 specification are
marked with the dexos1
approved logo. See
www.gmdexos.com.
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 0W-20 viscosity
grade engine oil.
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
