When the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado has the 2.9-liter engine, it requires 4.7 liters (4.97 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil. If it has the 3.7 or 5.3-liter engines, it needs 5.7 liters (6.02 quarts) of the same type of oil. The manufacturer suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles, but if your driving conditions include dirt roads, towing, or frequent slow speeds, you may need more frequent maintenance. The Colorado is equipped with an oil life indicator that will alert you when it's time for a service appointment. The mechanic typically resets this, but you can also do it yourself if needed. If you have the oil changed at a dealership, expect to pay between $110 and $140, which includes labor costs.
