Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations
| Usage | Fluid/Lubricant |
|---|---|
| Automatic Transmission | DEXRON®-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid (GM Part No. 88865601, in Canada 19367328) |
| Engine Coolant | 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL Coolant (GM Part No. 12346290, in Canada 10953464) |
| Engine Oil | Engine oil meeting the dexos1 specification of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 full synthetic is recommended. For the 2.5L L4 engine, use SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade engine oil (GM Part No. 19259487, in Canada 19259784). For the 3.6L V6 engine, use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil (GM Part No. 88865926, in Canada 19353385). Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29 °C (-20 °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. |
