I am 1 1/2 quarts low on oil and only place open close to me was dollar general and I bought dollar general brand SAE 5W-30 Oil. The user manual confused me (hence why I'm here) it said to use vehicle specific so now I'm wondering if I can use the oil I bought?

Hello,

I would say you hit it right on the money. I have included the oil type and capacity recommendation from the factory for your vehicle in the diagrams down below. If you should have any other vehicle related questions, please, feel free to ask. It's why we are here.

Thanks,
Alex
