Engine Oil Viscosity – 3.6L Engine

SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating
temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy.

The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended
engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on
engine oil filler cap location, refer to the “Engine Com-
partment” illustration in this section.

Engine Oil Viscosity – 5.7L Engine

SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating
temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature
starting and vehicle fuel economy.

The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended
engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on
engine oil filler cap location, refer to “Engine Compart-
ment” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion.

NOTE:

Vehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine must use SAE

5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in improper operation
of the Fuel Saver Technology. Refer to “Fuel Saver Technol-
ogy – If Equipped” in “Starting and Operating” for further
information.

Lubricants that do not have both, the engine oil certification
mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number should
not be used.

Synthetic Engine Oils

You may use synthetic engine oils provided the recom-
mended oil quality requirements are met, and the recom-
mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are
followed.

Materials Added To Engine Oil

The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addi-
tion of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the
engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its
performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
