The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox with a 3.6L engine requires 6 US quarts of oil, while the 2.4L engine needs 5 US quarts. It is recommended to use SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil. It is advised to change your oil every 7,500 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes can help extend your engine's lifespan, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance performance. Proper maintenance, including oil and filter changes, helps to remove debris and sludge from the engine. Neglecting oil changes can lead to various engine issues, as the oil becomes thinner, abrasive, and causes wear on critical engine components over time.

    In 2014, the Chevrolet Equinox comes with either a 3.6-liter engine that holds 6 quarts of oil or a 2.4-liter engine that takes 5 quarts. For optimum performance, Chevy suggests using SAE 5W-30 oil in the Equinox. They advise against using oils with different viscosity grades like SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50 in this model.
