I bought a new 2004 Chevy Tracker and was looking at the manual. It says on 4 different paragraphs that I must use engine oils that meet two requirements:
-API spec. 5-W30 or 10-W30 AND
-GM 6094M specifications
I have looked around, and I can't seem to find any oil that says it meets the 6094M spec. Not even Mobil-1. Other than the dealer, where would one buy engine oils that meet this requirement?
Fred,

Thank you all for your responses. I too searched online and saw those pages. None of them show anything in 5-W30 grade meeting this GM requirement.
Is it correct to assume that if say Pennzoil's 20-W50 meets this requirement, all Pennzoil oils including 5-W30 and 10-W30 meet it as well? If so, why is it not stated that way?
Am I not looking in the right place? I prefer to stay away from synthetic if possible (for cost reasons) and stick to regular oil and oil change intervals.
Thanks again, Fred
