A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and use only GM Goodwrench® DEX-COOL® or Havoline® DEX-COOL® silicate-free coolant

Engine Oil

The engine requires a special oil meeting GM Specification 4718M. Oils meeting this specification may be identified as synthetic, and should also be identified with the American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified for Gasoline Engines STARBURST symbol. However, not all Synthetic API oils with the STARBURST symbol will meet this GM Specification. Look for and use ONLY an oil that meets GM Specification 4718M. For information on the proper oil viscosity, refer to Engine Oil Viscosity under Explanation of Scheduled Services

Engine Oil Export

In areas of the world other than North America, it may be difficult to find oils that display the API STARBURST symbol and that are labeled as meeting the GM4718M Specification. If you cannot find API STARBURST displaying oils identified as meeting the GM4718M requirements, look for oils that meet the API Service SJ and ACEA A3-96 requirements. For information on the proper oil viscosity, refer to Engine Oil Quality and Viscosity Export under Explanation of Scheduled Services
