These three things are usually included in
a doughnut shaped logo (symbol) on most
containers. If you cannot find oils with
the “starburst” symbol, you should look
for oils with the doughnut shaped symbol,
containing the three things noted on the
previous page.
NOTICE:
If you use oils that do not have
either the “starburst” symbol or an
API
SH
designation, you can cause
engine damage not covered by your
warranty.
GM Goodwrench@ oil (in Canada, GM
Engine Oil) meets all the requirements for
your vehicle.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your
Chevrolet dealer is ready to -advise if you
think something should be added.
