The Chevrolet Captiva requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil, with a capacity of 5 quarts. This oil is essential for keeping the engine's internal parts cool and lubricated, preventing wear and damage from the parts rubbing against each other. An oil change for your Captiva typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and between $70 and $80 for parts. It is recommended to change the oil every 150,000 miles. Signs indicating the need for an oil change include engine ticking noises, transmission problems, shaking at idle, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.
He made it clear that there are ticking and shifting issues after 150,000 miles. He failed to mention that instead of changing the oil, you might as well change the whole engine by then after just one oil change, haha.
The amount of motor oil required for a 2013 Chevrolet Captiva 2.4L is 5 US quarts.
You should get an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 miles!
