The 1.4-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine in the Chevy Cruze takes 4.2 quarts of 0W-20 oil with a filter, while the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine uses 5.3 quarts of 5W-30 oil. For those utilizing fully synthetic oil, it’s recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or annually. For those opting for conventional oil, the interval shortens to every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or six months. Fully synthetic oils offer superior benefits such as enhanced lubrication, extended intervals between maintenance, and improved performance in extreme temperatures. Thinner synthetic oil flows more effectively in cold climates, providing better coverage and protection against wear and rust. Expect to pay between $110 and $130 for an oil and filter change, which includes both parts and labor.
