Always verify the exact amount for your vehicle in the owner’s manual or GM service data, as some regional variants or earlier model years may list a slightly different fill amount.


How to check or change the oil quantity


These steps outline a typical oil change process and how to ensure you have the correct quantity after filling:



  1. Warm the engine to operating temperature, then park on level ground and turn off the engine.

  2. Place a drain pan underneath the oil pan, remove the drain plug, and allow old oil to drain completely.

  3. Remove and replace the oil filter with a new one, and reinstall the drain plug securely.

  4. Fill with the recommended oil amount (about 4.5 quarts) and viscosity as specified in the owner’s manual, using a funnel to avoid spills.

  5. Check the oil level with the dipstick, adding small amounts as needed until the level reaches the full mark.

  6. Start the engine, run for a minute, then recheck for leaks and the oil level again after a few minutes with the engine off.


Note: Always use the oil grade recommended for your climate and driving conditions, typically 5W-30, but refer to the manual for your specific vehicle.
