In 2018, the Chevrolet Colorado requires 5 quarts of 5w-20 oil for optimal performance. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to keep the engine running smoothly, as issues will arise if the oil is old or subpar. Signs of trouble may include engine knocking noises, poor gas mileage, and a pungent burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential engine damage. It is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid engine-related problems that could lead to more serious issues if neglected.

    The 2018 Chevy Colorado requires a specific synthetic oil that meets the dexos 1 standards. The smaller 2.5L 4-cylinder engine uses SAE 5W-20 oil and has a capacity of 5 quarts, while the 2.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine and the larger 3.6L V6 engine use SAE 5W-30 oil and can hold 6 quarts. It's important to note that in temperatures below -20 degrees Fahrenheit, the diesel engine requires 0W-40 oil.

    Are they actually recommending 0w-20 now? They don't carry 5w-20 dexos anymore?
