It's regular automatic, NOT supercharged or anything.

I have the exact model and trim you have and found what you're supposed to use in the owners manual. If you want to check it out it's on page 5-17, at least it should be in yours too. There are a couple different brands, just make sure it's 5W-30 and on the back of the oil bottle it'll give you some codes for different makes. You're looking for GM6094M. If you use different oil you could damage you engine or the oil life system (tells you when you change your oil), you can almost guarantee it won't but no need to take the chance. And also the engine holds 5 quarts instead of 4 like most smaller engines.

The brand you use is important (Pennzoil 5W-30) but not as important as using the manufacturer's recommended oil weight. The big mfrs. put a lot of engineering into their vehicles so don't let someone tell you otherwise on this. As for type of oil I highly recommend you use a full synthetic. Some will say use regular petroleum base for the break in period then switch to a synthetic but I've had no problem draining the OEM crankcase oil at 1,000 miles and switching to a synthetic then.....my favorite is Amsoil Products which I use in all engines, gearboxes and transfer cases on the 6 cars I own. Hope this helps.

Alex ,back in the 80's GM / Ford / Chrysler got tired of putting different grades of oil in cars going to different parts of the countryUp north 5W30 . Midwest 10W30 and down south 10W40. So , along with the oil Co. got together and decided a 5W30 mix would work all the way around . They all put a connotation in the owners manual about operating temps and either using the heavier wt oils or staying with the lighter wt. 5W30 Hense 5W30 in cold weather and 10W30 or 40 in hotter climates

Do not use pennzoil. It sludges up in your engine. I prefer Valvoline or Quaker State. Your manual probably says to use 5w-30 but I would run 10w-30 in the summer time. If it gets cold in the winter were you are, It may be a little harder to start in the winter, but your engene would last longer with less wear.

5W-30, and whatever brand of oil you want to buy will work. I usually use Quakerstate oil in all my vehicles as I've had the best luck out of it not breaking down completely between 3,000 mile oil changes.

Brand doesn't matter....as long as it is 5W30. Change it every 4 mos or 4000 miles and all will be good
