2014 Malibu: oil change

Post by kevm14 »

Really nothing to say. 5 quarts and a filter. I went with Pennzoil full synthetic and a Wix. These new Dexos 1 gen 3 GF-6A oils might give the best protection for timing chains on direct injected engines so that's something.

OLM said 9% but the miles were only a little past the oil change sticker. I doubt that sticker recommended more than a 3-5k interval so this tells me GM definitely fixed their ridiculous OLM issues of a few years prior. The SRX may have such an OLM based on the 13-14k recommended intervals (when extrapolated from the remaining %).
