It is not the same engine as used in the prior models. The timing chains have been simplified and redesigned as have the cylinder heads. I have the truck version of this same engine in my 2017 GMC Canyon and love it. Use a Dexos1 Gen2 5W-30 oil. I change mine at halfway on the OLM leaving the filter in and then take it to the dealer when the OLM reads zero for new oil and filter. That way the dealer is on record as having changed the oil at the GM specified intervals for warranty plus I get the peace of mind knowing that the oil is refreshed and doing its job between dealer changes. Use top tier gasoline and occasionally add a PEA fuel injector cleaner to keep the high pressure direct injection nozzles clean.
Reading the features section was really impressive. Thanks!
