Brake Fluid1.06 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.
Fuel Tank (Gas)13.70 GALS. (51.86 L)
Windshield Washer Fluid2.65 QTS. (2.5 L) — Windshield Washer Fluid Note: Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions for the mixture ratio. Automotive windshield washer fluid that meets regional freeze protection requirements.

Automatic Transmission Fluid (Trans Mfr CD 9T50/M3D)— Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: Fluid Capacity is between: 2.1 - 3.2 qts.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (Diesel)3.80 GALS. (14.38 L)
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.
