So my gf needs her first oil change and I’m gonna take care of it. She has a 1.8L 2009 vibe. I need a couple things specd.

1. Oil filter that is correct for the car. Prefer wix. Link to oone would be great.

2. Oil 5w-20? I’m probably getting the valvoline high mileage but any other thoughts would be great.

3. What is the wrench size needed to pull off the old filter cap?

Thanks for the help. Links to tools or oil would be great.

The 2009 owners manual page 10-4 says its GM part number 19185485.
Rockauto says that GM number cross references to WIX 57064

The 2009 owners manual, page 9-10 says 5w-20

Can't help you on that one


If you don't have the owner's manual, here's a link to a PDF of the 2009 Owner's Manual

Check the oil filler cap for the recommended oil. You can go with 5W-20 or 0W-20.
