As an American, I would rewrite the text as follows: The recommended oil for a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze is 5w-30 with a capacity of 4.2 quarts. It is important to change the oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to prevent engine issues. High-quality oil is essential for smooth engine operation, and using bad oil can lead to engine failure. If you notice a burning smell or experience poor gas mileage, it may indicate oil problems that need immediate attention to avoid potential engine damage, such as knocking noises or even the risk of the car exploding.

    The 2012 Chevrolet Cruze should only be filled with engine oil that meets the dexos1 standard or an equivalent, with the right viscosity grade of 5W-30. It is recommended to use ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend. For the 1.4L engine, the oil capacity is 4.2 US quarts (4 liters), and for the 1.8L engine, it is 4.8 US quarts (4.5 liters).

    When completing an oil change, the engine has a capacity of 4.2 quarts and needs to use ACDelco decos 1 synthetic blend motor oil.

    I believed that the engine oil needed for a 1.4 turbo engine in a 2012 Chevy Cruze was Mobil 1 synthetic blend because that's what I found on Google. But I'm not completely sure.

    Certainly! "10w40" refers to a specific type of motor oil that has a viscosity rating of 10 in cold temperatures and 40 in hot temperatures.
