What kind of oil to fill in a Chevrolet Aveo
The history of the Chevrolet Aveo line of subcompact cars dates back to 2002. Then the GM corporation presented the first generation of these cars under the T200 symbol. Later, restyled T250 and second-generation T300 models appeared. As for power units, they are represented by gasoline and diesel engines of 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 liters, and engine oil for the Chevrolet Aveo has acquired individual factory approval, which we will talk about in this article.
- Gasoline engines: A12XEL, A12XER, A14XER, F16D4, F12S3, B12S1, LMU, L95, F14D4.
- Diesel engines: LDV, LSF.
Chevrolet Aveo oil approval
How to choose the right motor oil?
Two criteria are decisive when choosing motor lubricant for Chevrolet Aveo:
Change the lubricant on time
- Correct specification. It is extremely rare to find labels with false information on oil cans. This is due to mutual control of each other by manufacturing companies.
- Correct viscosity. Its value primarily depends on the prevailing external temperatures.
The use of any additional agents in lubricants conflicts with the original operating instructions for the Chevrolet Aveo. Damage resulting from the use of such products is excluded from the warranty. Therefore, the feasibility of spending on purchasing oils with additives to increase engine life is quite questionable. Moreover, there are lubricants on the market that have high performance properties.
Representatives of the Chevrolet concern believe that drivers who drive exclusively long distances can change the oil every 15,000 kilometers. But car owners who use their car primarily for short distance trips should change the lubricant much earlier. It is advisable to change the oil at the end and beginning of the cold season, that is, after approximately six months, regardless of the number of kilometers traveled. If the car is used exclusively in urban conditions, it is recommended to think about replacing the oxol after four months.
Those who use seasonal oils need to change the lubricant according to the time of year - autumn and spring. This will ensure that the characteristics of the lubricant correspond to external temperatures.
How and where to replace?
The engine oil should be changed when the engine is warm. This will allow the lubricant to wash all the dirt out of the engine as it drains. Many people already know about the negative consequences of used lubricant getting into groundwater. It also harms drinking water. Taking into account waste legislation, it is quite simple today to properly dispose of used lubricating fluid drained during replacement. For example, if you have a cash receipt for the purchase of oil, the waste can be handed over to the store where it was purchased. The retailer will be required to accept used lubricant from the motorist. An even simpler option is to use a device at the gas station that sucks out old grease. This will completely solve the problem of used oil.
- Replacing the lubricant in specialized workshops is the most expensive, since they use very expensive brands of oil. In addition, in many cases, the engine has time to cool down even before the used oil is completely drained. As a result, the bill additionally includes at least the work of replacing the oil filter.
- You can change the lubricant at gas stations quite quickly. The range of oils here is quite wide, which allows you to choose both an expensive and a cheaper option. At the same time, the cost of oil includes payment for work performed.
- You can also replace the oxol yourself. In this case, a prerequisite is to replace the oil filter.
It is possible to change the oil fluid without the help of specialists only if the owner of a Chevrolet Aveo has the opportunity to purchase lubricant at a special auto store.
To replace it yourself, you will need the following materials and tools:
- SAE 10W30 or 5W30 viscosity engine oil for cold regions. It can often be purchased in five-liter canisters at a fairly competitive price;
- a new gasket for the plug screwed onto the oil drain neck;
- oil filter;
- container for used lubricant. You can use an old oil canister with a cutout on the side or a used large saucepan. This container will then be used when transporting used lubricant;
- an oiler that facilitates the process of pouring fresh lubricant;
- a clamp wrench that makes it easier to unscrew the oil filter.
Chevrolet Aveo T200-T250 oil.
The car was equipped with several options for gasoline engines:
- Volume 1.2 liters and power 72 and 84 l/s.
- Volume 1.4 liters and power 94 and 101 l/s.
- Volume 1.5 liters and power 86 l/s.
- Volume 1.6 liters and power 106 and 109 l/s.
There is no point in inventing anything new; you just need to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations. An excerpt from the manual below:
You can buy suitable oils for the first generation Chevrolet Aveo engine by clicking on the link.
When choosing oil for an Aveo engine, first of all, it is preferable to focus on compliance with GM-LL-A-025. Viscosity should be selected based on the climatic conditions under which the vehicle is operated.
For a complete oil change, 4 liters of oil will be enough. The filled volume of engine oil is 3.2 liters for an engine with a volume of 1.2, and 3.75 liters of oil, for an engine of 1.4 and 1.5 and 1.6 liters, respectively.

Choosing oil for Chevrolet Aveo
When changing oil manufacturer, some service center specialists recommend using flushing oil.
Experts give the following advice:
- We must try to fill the car with the same oil that was filled before the maintenance.
- Do not mix different types of oils when adding or replacing.
- It is not recommended to use flushing fluids on the Chevrolet Aveo. If the driver thinks that he needs to flush the engine, then he can fill it with regular oil and shorten the period between service oil changes.

Liquid Moli or Motul Leu) and so that it’s 5-40)) just don’t be surprised at the price)))
Yes, I’ve already filled my mobile phone 10 40 times. It’s a hundred times better than this KIX warranty oil.
Now I use the original GM oil, I have no complaints. But in general, Helix was a good oil and not expensive.
Lil Mobile 5w40, the oil turned black quickly, the ride was average. In winter, be sure to warm up and then just hit the road; it was a little hard to go into the minus. I switched to Petro-Canada Sinetica, my joy knew no bounds, it began to work quieter, softer, and began to start in the minus with half a foam. After opening the valve covers, I saw a clean, clean engine (as if it had just come from the factory).
The VAZ 2110 has 1.5-8 valves. At first I used Shell Helix synthetics, I liked the oil good, but I still switched to Petro-Canada, since the qualifications of this oil are HIGHER THAN ALL THE OTHERS. On the Audi Allroad V6, 2.7, Lily, who knows what, I switched to Castrol, synthetic, for turbo engines, but alas, I didn’t like the oil, why I can’t say, but I’ll just say, I DIDN’T LIKE it.
everyone will praise the oil that they pour themselves. There are so many people, so many opinions. I used Mobile 5w40 both in winter and in summer. But it’s not a fact that the engine will run quieter with a different oil
I use Mobil 3000 5W-40. Not a bad oil, plus you can find it on tap at service centers at a good price. And 10W-40 can fail in severe frosts.
what's the difference between them?
5w-40 will be more fluid in severe frosts than 10w-40. The larger the first number, the less fluid (more viscous) it becomes in cold weather, until the oil freezes. And the engine needs fluid oil. This all makes sense if the car will be operated at temperatures below -20 - -25 degrees. A dozen will cope with warmer weather.
This is the right decision. It will be winter soon, and when winter comes, it gets cold, and when it’s cold in the yard, then the engine may not start... brrrrr)))) Better fill it with 5w/40.
I filled myself with 1.6.
I fill it with Castrol 10W-40 or MOBIL 10W-40, and KIXX is not such a good oil. Firstly, as you correctly pointed out, it makes the engine noisy, and plus, after acceleration, the engine heats up, but with other oils, on the contrary, the engine accelerates and runs quietly. Therefore, there will be no problems for you if you take the oils that I wrote at our machine market.
thank you)) that's a good explanation. So it’s worth switching from 5 30 to 10 40? As for kixx, there was simply no choice because of the warranty, but like oil, crap, water after a thousand miles is black like fuel oil
I fill it with Castrol 10W-40 or MOBIL 10W-40, and KIXX is not such a good oil. Firstly, as you correctly pointed out, it makes the engine noisy, and plus, after acceleration, the engine heats up, but with other oils, on the contrary, the engine accelerates and runs quietly. Therefore, there will be no problems for you if you take the oils that I wrote at our machine market.
Greetings, Fuad. Question about the use of Castrol 10W-40 oil. Today I changed the oil from GM to Castrol 10W-40 (the oil seems to be original in cans, purchased from a trusted supplier) and in the evening it seemed to me that the engine began to run a little noisier, like a slight tractor rumble). Have you encountered anything similar?
And after changing the oil, you replaced the gasoline filter on your car and then I stopped filling in Castrol 10W 40 oil; this is due to the problems, as you correctly wrote, that the engine rattles and that’s why I changed to Mobil 5W 40.
The process of changing the oil in a manual transmission on a Chevrolet Aveo
Before starting the procedure for changing the oil in a manual gearbox of a Chevrolet Aveo vehicle, the car owner needs to prepare certain tools, as well as special devices that will help in carrying out the indicated action.
- Hose with a diameter of 10 millimeters;
- Automotive sealant;
- A set of tools, including sockets and keys numbered 14 and 17;
- Container for draining used lubricant;
- New transmission oil that is suitable for a Chevrolet Aveo;

Replacement frequency, what oil to fill
According to the manufacturer's regulations, service changes of engine oil on the Chevrolet Aveo are carried out after 15,000 kilometers or at intervals of 1 year.
