NOTE:
All engines are equipped with specially
engineered pistons rings,
These rings allow oil to
flow freely on the cylinder walls during
break-in
period. Therefore,
oil consumption may be higher
during break-in period than it will be afterward.
Oil which according to the label on can is intended
for service MS and conforms to GM Standard 6041M
should be used.
