The 2008 Chevrolet Equinox is available with either a 3.4 L V6 or a 3.6 L V6 engine, requiring the use of 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil for optimal performance in any weather condition. The oil capacity is 4.5 quarts with a filter for the 3.4 L V6 and 5.5 quarts with a filter for the 3.6 L V6 engine. Both engine variants have a drain plug torque of 18 ft/lbs. Regular oil changes are crucial to maintain a clean and smoothly running engine, recommending an oil and filter change every 7,500 miles. Mechanics typically charge between $20 to $30 for an oil change service.
