Chevrolet Camaro Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2016-2024 (6th gen) Chevrolet Camaro, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Every 7,500 mi / 12 mo via Oil Life Monitor; severe sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.0L turbo (LTG), 3.6L V6 (LGX), or 6.2L V8 (LT1); 0W-20 dexos1 (LT1 V8 = 0W-40 dexosR); 8-speed auto or 6-speed manual |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Chevrolet Camaro note: Watch the oil grade: the 6.2L LT1 V8 (SS/ZL1) is factory-filled with 0W-40 dexosR (~10 qt), NOT the 0W-20 the 2.0T/V6 use — don't put the light oil in the V8. (6th gen, ended 2024.)
