If you've misplaced your owner's manual for your 2015 Chevy Traverse and need to know what type of oil to use, it can be frustrating to top it off or change it on your own without that information. The recommended oil for your Traverse is SAE 5W-30, but if you live in a colder area with temperatures around -20 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use SAE 0W-30. Make sure to only use the 0W-30 in those extreme cold conditions, otherwise stick with the 5W-30. When buying engine oil, always confirm that it meets the dexos1 specification by looking for the logo on the front of the oil bottle.

    I recently got my Chevy 2015 Traverse's oil changed, and they used a blended oil. Is that alright?

    The ideal engine oil for the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse is a 5W-30 viscosity that meets dexos1 standards, but you can also use a 0W-30 viscosity oil.

    Yeah, it's fine depending on the mileage of the engine. Personally, I use high-mileage full synthetic Castrol, but I'm thinking about switching to Mobil. Castrol burns too quickly. I recommend using Mobil or Chevron, even though they're more expensive, because they effectively clean the valves and other engine parts. It's important to be cautious about who is putting oil in your car - always ask and watch when your car is being serviced, and never leave your car unattended. Researching on YouTube can also be helpful in learning about the best options for your car.
