You
should
look
for
this
on
the
oil
container,
and
use
only
those
oils
that
display
the
logo.
GM
Goodwrench@
oil
(in
Canada,
GM
Engine
Oil)
meets
all
the
requirements
for
your
vehicle.
Engine
Oil
Additives:
Don’t
add
anything
to
your
oil.
Your
Pontiac
dealer
is
ready
to
advise
if
you
think
something
should
be
added.
When to Change
Engine
Oil:
See
if any
oneof these
is
true
for
you:
0
Most
trips
are
less
than
4
miles
(6
km).
0
It’s
below
freezing
outside
and
most
trips are less
than
10
miles
(16
km).
The
engine is at low
speed
most
of
the
time
(as
in
door-to-door
delivery,
or
in
stop-and-go
traffic).
0
You tow a
trailer
often.
0
Most
trips
are
through
dusty
places.
If any
one
of
these
is
true
for your
vehicle,
then
you
need
to
change
your
oil
and filter
every
3,000
miles
(5
000
km)
or
3
months
-
whichever
comes
fist.
If
none
of
them
is
true,
change
the
oil
every
7,500
miles
(12
500
km)
or
12
months
-
whichever
comes
first.
Change
the
filter
at
the
first
oil
change
and at
every
other
oil
change
after
that.
Engine
Block
Heater:
An engine
block
heater
can
be
a
big
help
if
you
have
to
park
outside
in
very
cold
weather,
0°F
(-
18°C)
or
colder.
If
your
vehicle
has
this
option,
see
“Engine
Block
Heater”
in
the
Index,
