DO NOT USE SAE 2OW-50 OR ANY OTHER
GRADE OIL NOT RECOMMENDED
3800 L36 (Code K)
As shown in the chart, if you have the 3.8L engine,
SAE 1OW-30 is best for your vehicle. However, you can
use SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60°F
(
16°C) before your next oil change. When it's very cold,
you should use SAE 5W-30. These numbers on an oil
container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use
other viscosity oils, such as SAE 2OW-50.
Use only engine oil with the American
Petroleum Institute Certified 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.
