GM says that if temperatures will stay above 0 Fahrenheit before the next oil change, you can use 10W-30. If its going to be really cold they recommend 5W-30 to improve oiling on extremely cold morning start-ups. This is true for all the engine options that year except the 6.6L. For that they say to use 15W-40.
