★ Top Answer
The 2012 Chevy Cruze requires either SAE 5w-30 or 0w-30 fully synthetic motor oil that meets specific standards, with an oil capacity of 4.6 US quarts. These oils are readily available at most retail locations, as well as automotive parts stores and online from reputable sellers. Prices for each bottle typically range from $2.36 to $13.88. If you opt for a professional oil change service, expect to pay between $31 and $126 for labor. Consider purchasing a funnel for $1 to $3 to minimize spills during the oil change. It is recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.

The 2012 Chevy Cruze requires either 5W-30 or 0W-30 engine oil that meets the dexos1 quality standards.

In my 2012 Chevy Cruze, the manual recommends using 4.2 quarts of ACDelco dexos 1 synthetic blend for the 1.4 liter turbocharged engine. This synthetic oil only needs to be replaced every 5000 to 10000 miles because it doesn't degrade as fast as conventional oil. I've known this since I was a kid.

According to the 2012 manual for the Cruze, it is suggested to use Dexos 1 synthetic blend oil. The preferred viscosity is 5W-30.

Certainly! You can think of 10W30 as a type of motor oil with a viscosity rating indicating its thickness and flow characteristics in different temperatures.
