The 2018 Chevrolet Cruze needs 4.2 quarts of 0W-20 oil for its 1.4 L 4-cylinder engine, while the 1.6 L 4-cylinder diesel engine requires 5.3 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil. According to the maintenance schedule, you should aim for an oil change every 3,000 miles or annually, although going up to 5,000 miles is acceptable. The traditional 3,000-mile oil change interval is considered a bit outdated nowadays, as most cars can go longer, especially with the use of synthetic oil that can protect the engine for up to 10,000 miles. While waiting that long may not be advisable, the key takeaway is that oil changes do not need to be done as frequently as previously believed.

I mistakenly used 5w30 oil in my 1.4-liter Cruze. I need to travel 140 kilometers to purchase 0W20 oil to swap it out. Will this impact my car in any way?

I disagree. In colder weather, you may see some additional benefits in terms of durability. Additionally, if the vehicle has been in use for a few years, the parts may have experienced some wear and tear, allowing for better accommodation of the thicker oil.
