If you have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.4 or 1.8-liter engine, you'll need 4.0 liters (4.2 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil for an oil change. For the 2.0-liter engine, you'll need 4.5 liters (4.8 quarts) of the same viscosity oil. Some recommended oil brands for DIY oil changes are Royal Purple, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobil 1, Castrol Edge, and Amsoil. Remember to let the engine cool for at least five minutes before checking or changing the oil. Chevrolet suggests changing the oil in the 2014 Cruze every 7,500 miles, but your specific maintenance schedule will depend on your driving habits. If you go to a dealership for an oil change, it will cost you between $110 and $130, including labor.
Is it more advantageous to consistently use diesel fuel in the Cruze?
The 2014 Chevy Cruze with 1.4L and 1.8L engines needs 4.2 quarts of oil, while the 2.0L engine requires 4.8 quarts. It’s advised to use SAE 5W-30 oil for optimal performance. Avoid using oils with different viscosity grades, like SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50, according to Chevrolet's recommendation.
The manual for my 2014 Chevy Cruze specifies that only Dexos 2 oil should be used, and it requires 4.2 quarts of oil.
