Oil capacity by engine
| Engine | Oil Type (viscosity) | Capacity w/ Filter | Capacity w/o Filter | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4L — 1.4L Eng | API - SAE 0W-20 | 4.23 QTS. | — | Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. |
| 1.4L — 1.4L Eng | API - SAE 0W-20 | 4.23 QTS. | — | Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. |
| 1.6L — 1.6L Eng | API - SAE 5W-30 | 5.30 QTS. | — | Use engine oils with the dexos2 certification mark. Oils meeting the requirements of the vehicle should have the dexos2 certification mark on the container. This certification mark indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos2 specification. Use of Substitute Engine Oils if dexos2 is unavailable: In the event that dexos2-approved engine oil is not available at an oil change or for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil that meets ACEA C3 of the appropriate viscosity grade. In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg.C (-20Deg.F), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. |
