The 2013 Chevy Sonic with a 1.8 L engine needs 4.8 quarts of oil. It's best to go with fully synthetic oil for the top performance, but semi-synthetic or regular oils work too. Stick to sae 5w-30 genuine oil or a certified equivalent for the best results. This boosts the car's longevity, efficiency, and performance. If you're using synthetic oil, switch it out every 7,000-10,000 miles. With other oil types, opt for more frequent changes. For instance, switch to conventional oils every 3,000-5,000 miles to keep the engine running smoothly.

Since no engine is flawless, it is expected that there will be a tolerance of 1 quart per 1,000 miles. From conversations with technicians, a vehicle is not deemed to have a significant oil leak or oil consumption issue until it exceeds this rate. Losing 1 quart over the course of 5,000 to 10,000 miles is considered standard for a new car and impressive for an older model.

I own a Sonic and I allowed the oil level to drop to around 18%. I added one quart of oil, which brought it back to the full level. Can you explain how this is possible?
