The 2013 Chevy Cruze with a 1.8-liter engine requires 4.2 liters (4.5 quarts) of 5W-40 engine oil. This means the oil has a viscosity of 5 at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, with the "W" indicating a winter rating. Chevrolet suggests changing this oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first. If you frequently drive in heavy traffic with frequent stops, you might need more frequent oil changes. Some popular 5W-40 oil brands for DIY oil changes are Castrol Magnatec, Shell Rotella, Royal Purple High Performance, and LiquiMoly. The average cost for a dealership oil change is $100 to $130, with labor accounting for $30 to $50 of that total.
The 2013 Chevy Cruze can hold up to 4.5 quarts of engine oil.
