What is the 2009 Pontiac G6 oil type?

My father has a 2009 Pontiac G6, and now that he’s getting older, I want to do the oil changes to save him the hassle of going to a mechanic. What oil do I need to buy?

Before changing the oil on a car, it’s important to ensure you’re using the right kind. For the 2009
Pontiac G6
, you can use Mobil 1 - Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil or Mobil 1 Extended Performance Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s a high-quality 5W-30 synthetic oil, as synthetic oil enhances engine performance and extends the time between oil changes.
While you’re changing the oil on your Pontiac, you may want to consider checking out some other maintenance items, including:
  • Rotate tires
  • Replace engine oil and filter
  • Inspect wipers and washer fluid levels
  • Inspect suspension components
  • Inspect steering linkage
  • Inspect power steering and fluid levels
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Check battery, exterior lamps, and horn operation
  • Check turn signals and hazard warning lights
If you want to extend the life of your car, keeping up with regular maintenance is essential. But it’s also important to ensure you have the right insurance to protect it! When you shop for car insurance with
