In America, the 2016 Chevy Trax will have a standard inline-4 1.4L engine on all trims. This engine will hold 4.2 US quarts of oil, including the filter. It should be filled with 5W-30 motor oil, but if you're in a really cold area, go for 0W-30 to prevent freezing. The oil drain plug will be 10mm, and you'll need 15 lbs-ft of torque to remove it with a power tool. Plan to change the oil every 7,500 miles.
The previous response is WRONG! As stated in the 2016 Chevy Trax owner's manual, the 1.4L engine requires 4.2 quarts of oil, while the 1.8L engine needs 4.8 quarts. This information can be found in the official manual for the 2016 Chevy Trax.
In the 2016 Chevy Trax, the 1.4-liter I-4 engine that comes with all three trims - LS w/1LS, LT, and LTZ - requires approximately 3.5 quarts of oil.
