Here's why:
* Vehicle Specifics: The type of oil your car needs depends on the engine, its age, and your driving conditions. Your owner's manual is the best source of information.
* Oil Recommendations Vary: Oil recommendations change over time. What was recommended in 2011 may be different now.
* Safety: Following the wrong oil recommendation can damage your engine.
To find the correct oil for your Aveo LS, you should:
1. Consult Your Owner's Manual: Look for the recommended oil type, viscosity (like 5W-30), and oil change interval.
2. Check Your Oil Fill Cap: Sometimes, the recommended oil type is printed on the cap.
3. Talk to a Mechanic: A qualified mechanic can tell you what type of oil your car needs based on its condition and your location's climate.
Important: Avoid using synthetic oil unless your owner's manual specifically recommends it. While synthetic oil has benefits, it's not always necessary and can sometimes be detrimental to older engines.
