Engine Oil

Engine oils with the letters CI-4 or CH-4 are best for your vehicle. The CI-4 or CH-4 designation may appear either alone, or in combination with other API designations, such as API CI-4/SL. These letters show American Petroleum Institute (API) levels of quality. GM Goodwrench® oil meets all the requirements for your vehicle. To determine the preferred viscosity for your vehicle's diesel engine, see Engine Oil .
