As shown in the chat, SAE 5W-30 is b.est for your
vehicle. However, you can use SAE low-30 if it's going
to be 0°F
(-
18 "C) or above. These- numbers on an oil
container show

NOTICE:
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.
If you are in an area where,the temperature falls below
-20°F (-29°C)' considerusing either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE
OW-30
oil. Both will provide
easier cold starting and better protection for your engine
at extremely low temperatures.
