6-16 Engine Oil Additives
Don't add anything to your oil. The recommended oils
with the starburst symbol are all you will need for good
performance and engine protection.
When to Change Engine Oil
(GM Oil Life System)
Your vehicle has a computer that lets you know
when to change your engine oil. This is not based
on mileage, but on engine revolutions and engine
operating temperature. When the computer has
calculated that the oil needs changing, the GM Oil Life
System will indicate that a change is necessary.
Change your oil as soon as it is possible within the
next two times you stop for fuel.The mileage between oil and filter changes will vary
depending on how you drive your vehicle
-- usually
between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and10,000 miles
(16 000 km) since your last oil and filter change.
Under severe conditions, the system may come on
before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
vehicle more than 10,000 miles (16 000 km) or
12 months (whichever occurs first) without an
oil change.
Remember to reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light
whenever the oil is changed. For the Oil Life System to
work properly, you must reset the system each time the
oil is changed.
