What Kind of Engine Oil to Use
For Vehicles With the 2.0L L4 Engine
Look for two things:
GM4718M
Your vehicle’s engine requires a special oil
meeting GM Standard GM4718M, such as
Mobil 1
®or equivalent. Oils meeting this
standard may be identied as synthetic.However, not all synthetic oils will meet this
GM standard. You should look for and use only
an oil that meets GM Standard GM4718M.
Notice:If you use oils that do not have the
GM4718M Standard designation, you can cause
engine damage not covered by your warranty.
SAE 5W-30
As shown in the viscosity chart, SAE 5W-30
is best 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
certied by the
American Petroleum
Institute (API).
You should look for this on the oil container, and
use only those oils that are identied as meeting
GM Standard GM4718M and have the starburst
symbol on the front of the oil container.

You should look for this information on the oil
container, and use only those oils that are
identied as meeting GM Standard GM6094M
and have the starburst symbol on the front of
the oil container.Notice:Use only engine oil identied as
meeting GM Standard GM6094M and showing
the American Petroleum Institute Certied
For Gasoline Engines starburst symbol. Failure
to use the recommended oil can result in
engine damage not covered by your warranty.
GM Goodwrench
®oil meets all the requirements
for your vehicle.
If you are in an area of extreme cold, where
the temperature falls below−20°F (−29°C), it is
recommended that you use either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30 oil. Both will
provide easier cold starting and better protection
for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Engine Oil Additives
Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended
oils with the starburst symbol that meet GM
Standard GM6094M are all you will need for
good performance and engine protection.
