Chevrolet Sonic 2014 Owner's Manual page 203

Cold temperature operation:
If in an area of extreme cold, where
the temperature falls below -25°C,
SAE 0W-xx oil should be used. An oil
of this viscosity grade will provide
easier cold starting for the engine at
extremely low temperatures. When
selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade be sure to always
select oil that meets the dexos
specification.
Down to -25 °C: 5W-30, 5W-40
Down to -25 °C and below: 0W-30,
0W-40
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long life
coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for
the vehicle. Consult a workshop.
In countries with moderate climate
the coolant provides freeze protection
down to approx. -35°C.
In countries with cold climate the
coolant provides freeze protection
down to approx. -50°C. This
concentration should be maintained
all year-round.
Maintain a sufficient concentration of
anti-freeze.
Coolant additives intended to give
additional corrosion protection or seal
against minor leaks can cause
function problems. Liability for
consequences resulting from the use
of coolant additives will be rejected.
TM Brake fluid
Only use our authorised brake fluid
for this vehicle. Please refer to the
note marked on the brake fluid
reservoir cap.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in a
sealed container to avoid water
absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become
contaminated.
Power steering fluid
Only use Dexron VI fluid.
