What type of oil does a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic take?
Use Chevrolet-approved, dexos-certified engine oil in the viscosity shown on your oil cap or owner’s manual.
Your 2013 Chevrolet Sonic’s engine is engineered for specific viscosity and performance standards; dexos certification verifies the oil meets GM requirements.

If you’re unsure which viscosity your car calls for, we’ll confirm it from your VIN and manual.

Our technicians measure precisely, verify level on the dipstick, and check for leaks after start-up.

What’s the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic?
Full synthetic provides the most stable protection across Utah’s temperatures, while conventional offers the least.

Always choose oil that meets Chevrolet’s dexos standard and the viscosity on your oil cap to maintain performance and efficiency.
- Conventional: basic protection for mild conditions
- Synthetic blend: better stability and detergency
- Full synthetic: best cold-start and high-temp performance
