★ Top Answer
The 2010 Chevrolet Colorado is equipped with one of three different engines, depending on the variant you choose. The smallest engine option is a 2.9L 4-cylinder that needs 5 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. The mid-sized 3.7L 5-cylinder engine requires 6.0 quarts of the same oil, while the largest 5.3L V8 engine also needs 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30. If necessary, you can temporarily use SAE 5W-40 instead, but it's not recommended as thicker oils cause more friction, potentially leading to premature wear and tear and early engine failure. It's advised to always stick to the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight for optimal performance.
