Oil capacity by engine
| Engine | Oil Type (viscosity) | Capacity w/ Filter | Capacity w/o Filter | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L — 2.0L Eng,AWD | API - SAE 5W-30 | 6.00 QTS. | — | Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. DO NOT use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg.C (-20Deg.F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. |
