I recommend any major brand of oil.
Actually, this vehicle has an oil life monitor which tells him how often to change it.
I recommend not to use the OLM on this vehicle as it will give you a too-long oil change interval. The DI engines in these small SUV's cause a lot of fuel dilution.
As to what I recommend, Castrol 5w30 High Mileage, it starts off at 12.0 CST, that will help minimize the effects of the fuel dilution shearing.

It was my understanding that GM recently recalibrated the OLM for the DI vehicles to reduce the interval.
Yes, they did.
