3800 V6 Engine
As shown in
the
chart, if you have the 3800 engine,
SAE low-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
S A E 5W-30.
These numbers
on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do
not use other viscosity oils, such as S A E 20W-50.

NOTICE:
Use
only
engine oil with the American Petroleum
Institute Certiaed 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), consider using either
an SAE SW-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.
