The head gasket in my 1.8L 2012 Chevy Sonic started leaking oil into the coolant recently. I found a used engine from a 2013 Cruze for a decent price and replacing my engine with it looks like a fairly cheap and easy fix. I just wanted to confirm that a 1.8L engine from a 2013 Chevy Cruze with an automatic transmission will be compatible with my 2012 Chevy Sonic that has a 1.8L engine and manual transmission? I also wanted to ask if anyone has any experience replacing the engine in a Sonic, and if there is anything especially difficult I should be prepared for.
