Oil pressure on 2010 Grand Sport

[junkyardjohn]

• GM4718M

Your vehicle's engine requires a special oil meeting GM Standard GM4718M. Oils meeting this standard may be identified as synthetic. However, not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard. Use only an oil that meets GM Standard GM4718M.

Notice: Using oils that do not have the GM4718M Standard designation, can cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty.

• SAE 5W-30

SAE 5W-30 is best for the vehicle. These numbers on an oil container show its viscosity, or thickness. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 20W-50.

I have 85 miles on my 2010 grand sport convertible. I had it for almost a year. It still smells new inside. Do I change the oil once a year reguardless of the miles, wait till I have X number of miles, what do you think. I am going to use red line oil. Also do I use the racing oil or what do think, of course using the 5w-30. Thanks

If you've had the car a year and it only has 85 miles on it, clearly, you seldom drive it. I'll go out on a limb and guess that when you do drive it, you don't run the car too hard.

If Red Line is your choice, use 10W30 Engine Oil. Do not use Red Line Race Oil.

How often do I change the oil / filter? Once a year for oil & filter, or oil then oil & filter, or mileage if so how many miles? Me I think I going to change & filter next winter. (winter 2012)
