When the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox has the 2.4-liter engine, it requires 5 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil, while the 3.6-liter engine needs 6 quarts of the same viscosity oil. SAE 5W-30 is a popular choice for various engines and climates, as it reduces friction, prevents corrosion, and helps maintain engine temperature. It is recommended to change this oil every 7,500 miles or 6 months, depending on which milestone is reached first. However, if you encounter dusty conditions, frequently tow, or drive long distances at low speeds, you may need to change the oil more frequently. The estimated cost for an oil change in a 2013 Equinox is between $110 and $140, which includes labor.
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox with a 2.4L engine holds 5 US quarts (4.7 liters) of engine oil, while the 3.6L engine can hold up to 6 US quarts (5.7 liters). It is recommended by Chevrolet to use dexos 1 specification or an equivalent 5W-30 oil for the 2013 Equinox.
