Pontiac recommends the use of 5-30 weight oil. I use fully synthetic Mobil One high mileage (because I have more than 75K on car) or Valvoline. If you use synthetic, then you should always stay with synthetic as returning to conventional oil may cause issues with seals and gaskets.
Dealer specs call for 5W30 but I use 5W40.
4 quarts of oil.
where is the plug to drain the oil in a 2005 Pontiac vibe
5W-20
5 w 30
All internal combustion engines using oil as a lubricant need the oil filter changed when you change the oil. manf. recomendation...3000 miles
5 w 30
12mm if I'm not mistaken
The check engine light has nothing to do with an oil change. The check engine light is reset with a scan tool after repairing the failure that caused it.
whichever size fits tightly, probably a metric 15mm
I do not know if the 2009 vibe has the same location as the 2004, but on my 2004 vibe the oil filter is between the bumper and the engine, but is above the oil pan. It is visible from both above and below and will likely be a white or blue cannister about the width of a soda can but somewhat shorter.
Oil filetr on this 2.4 engine is underneth by the middle of engine.
4 and 1/2 or 4 and 3/4 qt
