The engine requires a special
engine oil meeting GM Standard

standard can be identified as
synthetic, and should also be
identified with the American
Petroleum Institute (API) Certified

symbol. However, not all synthetic
API oils with the starburst symbol
will meet this GM standard. You

that meets GM Standard GM4718M.
