What brand is the dedicated engine oil for Chevrolet?
1 Answers
Chevrolet manufacturers specify the use of 5W-30 engine oil. The original factory oil is a semi-synthetic oil configured with Shell technology. The number 5 represents the oil's low-temperature resistance - the smaller the number, the lower the low-temperature resistance. The number 30 indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance - the higher the number, the greater the high-temperature resistance. The W signifies that the oil can be used in winter. Steps for changing engine oil: Lift the vehicle, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw; unscrew the drain screw, use an air gun to blow at the oil filler port for two minutes, tighten the drain screw after draining and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; reinstall the protective plate and lower the vehicle, then use a funnel to add oil at the filler port. Precautions when changing car engine oil: Perform the change while the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is drained as thoroughly as possible; replace the oil filter when changing the oil. The old oil filter can become clogged with impurities, which can slow oil flow and reduce engine lubrication. Residual old oil in the filter can degrade the quality of the new oil. Add oil and ensure the amount is appropriate; after adding oil, start the engine and check all components for leaks. Run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level reaches the normal mark.
