★ Top Answer
The 2009 Chevrolet Equinox requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 4.5 quarts. This oil helps keep your car's engine parts cool, lubricated, and prevents wear and damage by reducing friction between moving components. An oil change for your Equinox typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and between $70 and $80 for parts. It is recommended to get an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs that you need an oil change include hearing a ticking sound from the engine, experiencing transmission shifting issues, feeling shaking while idling, noticing exhaust smoke, facing poor fuel economy, or if the Check Engine or Oil Change lights illuminate on your dashboard.
