In 2006, the Chevy Colorado had two engine options: a 2.8L 4-cylinder and a 3.5L 5-cylinder. With the filter included, the 4-cylinder models require 5 US quarts of motor oil, while the 5-cylinder models need 6 US quarts. Both engines require synthetic 5W-30 oil and should be changed every 7,500 miles to maintain the truck's performance. The cost of oil for a refill can range from $25 to $45, depending on the brand and store where you make the purchase.
