What type of oil does a 2003 Chevy S10 2.2 need for an oil change?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2003 Chevrolet S-10 comes with a 2.2 L 4 Cylinder engine that requires either SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in all weather conditions or 10W-30 in temperatures above 0°F. To fill the truck, you'll need 4.5 quarts of oil with a filter. The torque needed for the drain plug is 33 ft/lbs. When we say 5W-30, the 5 refers to the oil's thickness at startup, the "w" stands for winter, and 30 indicates the oil's thickness at operational speeds. Oil is essential to maintain the engine's cleanliness and performance. It's recommended to change both the oil and filter every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Typically, the cost for an oil change ranges from $20 to $30 for labor.
