The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse, equipped with the 3.6L 6-cylinder engine, requires 6 quarts of A5W-30 viscosity oil. Opting for 0W-20 is advisable if you reside in a region where temperatures often drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, while 10W-40 could be more suitable if temperatures rarely go below this mark, offering improved performance for your truck. To ensure compatibility, consider using the WIX10255-EA oil filter, priced around $10 in most automotive stores. When tightening the drain plug nut, be cautious not to over-torque it; a maximum of 18 pound feet should suffice.
