2012 Chevrolet Cruze Engine Oil

Why is an oil change the most commonly performed maintenance task on any car or truck? Your car's oil is a wear item that is designed to last for a certain number of operating hours or driving miles. In addition to the obvious task of lubricating all the parts inside the engine, it also picks up debris and dirt as it moves through the crankcase, suspending the gunk within itself before depositing it in the oil filter. Some of the debris ends up staying suspended within the oil, and this is what causes your oil to become black after about 3,000 miles of driving. Replacing the engine oil for your 2012 Chevy Cruze is an easy task that any backyard mechanic can tackle, with oil and oil filters from AutoZone.

The service interval for 2012 Chevy Cruze engine oil is about 7,500 miles, but if you don't drive that much in a year, be sure to change it anyways since condensation and other deposits can build up and do damage to your engine.
