OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2018 (2018).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
2.03 OZS. (0.06 L) — PAG 46
Brake Fluid
1.06 QTS. (1 L) — DOT 3 Hydraulic Brake Fluid
Engine Coolant (1.4L Eng)
6.32 QTS. (5.98 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (1.4L Eng)
4.23 QTS. (4 L) — API - SAE 0W-20 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended.
Manual Transmission Fluid
1.86 QTS. (1.76 L) — Manual Transmission Fluid Note: GM Part No. 19259104.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 6T35/MNU)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 5.3-7.4 qts.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 9T50/M3D)
— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 2.1 - 3.2 qts.
Engine Coolant (1.6L Eng)
6.92 QTS. (6.54 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (1.6L Eng)
5.30 QTS. (5.01 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use engine oils with the dexos2 certification mark. Oils meeting the requirements of the vehicle should have the dexos2 certification mark on the container. This certification mark indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos2 specification. Use of Substitute Engine Oils if dexos2 is unavailable: In the event that dexos2-approved engine oil is not available at an oil change or for maintaining proper oil level, you may use substitute engine oil that meets ACEA C3 of the appropriate viscosity grade. In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg.C (-20Deg.F), 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.
