OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2016 (2016).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
4.30 OZS. (0.12 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3-7.4 qts.
Brake Fluid
1.06 QTS. (1 L) — DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Engine Coolant
7.50 QTS. (7.09 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil
4.25 QTS. (4.02 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Manual Transmission Fluid
1.90 QTS. (1.79 L) — Manual Transmission Fluid Note: GM Part No. 19259104.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (1.8L Eng)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 4.2 - 5.3 qts.
Engine Coolant (1.8L Eng)
5.92 QTS. (5.6 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (1.8L Eng)
4.67 QTS. (4.41 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (1.4L Eng)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3-7.4 qts.
Engine Coolant (1.4L Eng)
6.60 QTS. (6.24 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (1.4L Eng)
4.25 QTS. (4.02 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
