GM Standard GM6094M for motor oil

The 05 Vibe owners manual specifically states that I should only use oil that meets GM6094M standard and has the API starburst symbol on the container.Bottom line question for me on this is - how important is it to get this "GM" certified oil when this is a Toyota engine?? What does the Matrix manual say to use for oil? I ask because the only 5w-30 weight oil my local Grease-N-Go has is Valvoline - and they have been doing minor maintenance like this on my cars for years and I trust their work - so it seems stupid that I'm looking for a GM specification for a Toyota engine and not able to use people I trust to work on my car.Thoughts? If I'm changing my oil on schedule and not driving in races should it be an issue?

What about the AAA batteries for the dashboard lights?
