The 2006 Chevrolet Equinox is originally filled with SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil from the factory. The 3.4 liter engine requires 4 quarts of oil, while the 3.6 liter engine needs 5.5 quarts (including the filter). You have the option to use the FRam ULTRA® Spin-on Oil Filter as a replacement. If you choose to go against the manufacturer's recommendation and use conventional oil, your car won't blow up (at least not because of the oil), but it's best to change it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. On the other hand, if you're using synthetic oil, you can wait until 7,500 to 10,000 miles before changing it.
