To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect
your investment:
.Always use engine oil approved
to the proper specification and of
the proper viscosity grade. See
“Selecting the Right Engine Oil”
in this section.
.Check the engine oil level
regularly and maintain the
proper oil level. See “Checking
Engine Oil” and“When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
.Change the engine oil at the
appropriate time. See
Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-3.
.Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the engine
oil level at each fuel fill. In order to
get an accurate reading, the vehicle
must be on level ground. The
engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview
on page 10-7 for the location of the
engine oil dipstick.
Obtaining an accurate oil level
reading is essential:
1. If the engine has been running recently, turn off the engine and
allow several minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Checking the oil level too soon
after engine shutoff will not
provide an accurate oil level
reading.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.

10-10 Vehicle Care
{Caution
Failure to use the recommended
engine oil can result in engine
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Check with your
dealer or service provider on
whether the oil is approved to the
dexos1 specification.
Use of Substitute Engine Oils if
dexos1 is unavailable: In the event
that dexos1-approved engine oil is
not available at an oil change or for
maintaining proper oil level, you
may use substitute engine oil that
meets American Petroleum Institute
(API) approved specifications of the
appropriate viscosity grade. These
oils have the API certification mark
on the front of the container.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
engine oil.
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.

Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) Fluid
{Caution
.GM recommends using
ACDelco CVT Fluid (Part No.
19260800, in
Canada 19299096) in CVT.
Do not mix with other fluids.
.Do not use Automatic
transmission fluid (AFT) or
Manual Transmission fluid in
a CVT, as it may damage the
CVT. Damage caused by the
use of fluids other than as
recommended is not covered
under the vehicle warranty.
.Using fluids that are not
equivalent to ACDelco CVT
Fluid (Part No. 19260800, in
Canada 19299096) may
damage the CVT. Damage
caused by the use of fluids(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
other than as recommended
is not covered under the
vehicle warranty.
When checking or replacement of
CVT fluid is required, see your
dealer for servicing.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is near
the rear of the engine compartment
on the driver side. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-7.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Inspect or replace the air cleaner/
filter at the scheduled maintenance
intervals. See Maintenance
Schedule on page 11-3. If driving in
dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the
filter at each engine oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/filter,
remove the filter from the vehicle
and lightly shake it to release loose
dust and dirt. If the filter remains
covered with dirt, a new filter is
required. Never use compressed air
to clean the filter.
To inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter:
1. Air Cleaner/Filter Cover
2. Air Cleaner/Filter Tabs (2)
