Since the Impala comes with two different engines, it is imperative that you know which one you have before changing the oil. Each engine requires a different amount and type of oil. To avoid premature wear on your engine, always follow the manufacturer's guidelines on when and how to change your oil. The 2.5-liter engine needs 4.7 liters of 5W-20 oil and the 3.6-liter takes 5.7 liters of 5W-30. It is recommended to use synthetic oil for both of them.
