We recently bought my wife a 2015 Cruze LT w/ Turbo. This is the first time I've delt with a car that has the cartridge style oil filter, I'm used to the canister style. I'm thinking about using an extended life synthetic oil with this car but it seems like there aren't many extended life oil filters out there that are compatible, they all seem to be the canister style. Some of the oils I'm looking at are good for 15,000-25,000 miles. Are the oil filters able to be changed in between oil changes without draining the oil? Any opinions on a good quality compatible oil filter for synthetic oils?
Also I see this model calls for 4.2qts of oil. Anyone have much experience doing oil changes on these models that call for 4.2qts? I know typically there is *some* oil left behind when you drain it. Should I be able to get away with only buying 4qts of oil?
