The 2017 Chevy Equinox requires SAE 5W-30 oil. Chevrolet suggests using synthetic or synthetic blend oil when changing it. Nowadays, there are two main types of oil available — synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil provides better engine protection compared to conventional oil because it is designed to lubricate more effectively and last longer. This means you can wait 7,500 miles before needing an oil change, whereas with conventional oil, it's recommended every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. A blend of synthetic and conventional oil is a good choice over just using conventional oil. I advise checking your oil once a month to ensure it is clean and free from any burning or debris.

    The Chevrolet Equinox needs 5W30 synthetic blend oil. There are two engine options available for the Equinox: a 3.6-liter and a 2.4-liter. Once you determine which engine your Equinox has, you can determine the right amount of oil needed. The 2.4-liter engine requires 5 quarts of oil, while the 3.6-liter engine needs 6 quarts. Ensuring that you use the correct type and quantity of oil is crucial to preventing early engine wear.
