The oil type and capacity for the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is 5w-30 with a capacity of 6 quarts. It's crucial to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine runs smoothly. Issues can arise with the oil over time, such as a strong burning smell which should be addressed promptly to prevent any potential hazards like engine failure. Knocking noises and poor gas mileage may indicate oil problems. It's important to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to maintain engine health and prevent any potential issues.

In 2010, the Chevy Equinox with a 2.4L engine can hold 5.0 quarts (4.7 Liters) of oil, while the 3.0L engine version can hold 6.0 quarts (5.7 Liters). To make sure you're using the right engine oil, GM suggests checking for these three things: that it meets GM Standard GM6094M, has an SAE 5W-30 grade rating, and features the American Petroleum Institute (API) starburst symbol.
