Chevy Equinox Oil Type

2024 Chevy Equinox  at a dealership

Keeping your Chevy Equinox in great condition is relatively easy. It should get regular maintenance every 7,500 miles or six months (whichever comes first), including a tire rotation and an oil change, for your drives around Catskill. If you love DIY oil changes or simply want to know what grade of lubricant you need for your vehicle, we’ll tell you about the Chevy Equinox oil type with our guide from Sawyer Chevrolet, Inc. near Hudson. We want you to get the most out of every drive in Saugerties and beyond. We will also talk about the Chevy Equinox oil filter you need. 

What Is the Right Chevy Equinox Oil Type?

There are a few choices for the Chevy Equinox oil type. It depends on where you live (for extremely warm or cold climates) as well as the engine. 

For ordinary winter temperatures that don’t dip below zero, the manufacturer recommends ACDelco dexos1 5W-30 full synthetic oil for a Chevy Equinox for most model years and engine types. Your owner’s manual will tell you the exact oil for a Chevy Equinox you need.

If you worry about subzero temperature, which we often get in and around Windham, we advise ACDelco dexos1 0W-30 full synthetic oil in 2.0L turbo Equinox models and 0W-20 full synthetic for 1.5L turbo models. These are slightly different grades that are made for lower temperatures. Also, full synthetic oil for a Chevy Equinox is required when turbocharged engine parts are involved. 

Chevy Equinox Oil: Synthetic vs. Conventional

Your Chevy Equinox oil comes down to two main choices: synthetic and conventional. Full synthetic oil is specially formulated for your SUV’s engine. It lasts longer and provides better engine protection than conventional oil. Again, your Chevy Equinox oil must be full synthetic to take care of turbocharged parts. Otherwise, the impurities of conventional oil will clog the turbocharged parts and make the engine not nearly as efficient or deliver as much power. 

What Happens if I Don’t Replace Chevy Equinox Oil?

Your Chevy Equinox oil lubricates the pistons as they move rapidly up and down to keep your vehicle moving forward. The oil, if left unchanged, will break down over time and cause the engine to overheat.

Chevy Equinox Oil Filter Change

Every time you change the Chevy Equinox oil, you need a new Chevy Equinox oil filter. We recommend the OEM ACDelco oil filter that fits your exact model. You can buy the Chevy Equinox oil filter from our parts center to ensure a proper fit. Of course, we can easily take care of a Chevy Equinox oil change for you if you don’t have time to do it yourself.
