Engine Specifications and Fluid Requirements

Using the correct fluid is vital for the longevity of your crossover. General Motors engineers specifically designed the 1.2L Turbo engine to operate efficiently with rigorous fluid standards.

The 4.2-quart capacity means your engine uses a highly efficient, lower-volume oil system. This translates to quicker oil changes and lower material costs during your routine dealership visits.

Furthermore, the dexos1 Gen 3 certification ensures the fluid resists breaking down under the high heat generated by the turbocharger, keeping your engine clean and preventing sludge buildup. When you reach that first 7,500-mile milestone, you can easily Schedule Service with our certified technicians to keep your warranty fully intact.
