★ Top Answer
The 2012 Chevy Colorado requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. The smaller 2.9l engine holds 5 quarts, while the larger 3.7l and 5.3l engines can accommodate 6 quarts. Oil serves to cool and lubricate the engine's internal components, preventing wear and damage from parts rubbing against each other. An oil change for your Colorado typically costs between $120 and $130. It is recommended to have your oil changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Signs that it's time for an oil change include increased engine noise, transmission problems, shaking when idling, excessive exhaust, oil smells in the vehicle, or the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights appearing.
