The 2009 Chevy Equinox requires 4.5 quarts of oil with the 3.4L V6 engine and 5.5 quarts with the 3.6L V6 engine. Chevrolet recommends using fully synthetic SAE 5W-30 oil for oil changes. There are two main types of oil: conventional oil, made from refined petroleum, and synthetic oil, which offers better wear protection and longer life, allowing for fewer oil changes. It’s important to check your oil monthly to ensure it is at the correct level and free from debris.
In 2009, the Chevrolet Equinox comes with either a 3.4L V6 or a 3.6L V6 engine, requiring 4.5 or 5.5 quarts of full synthetic oil, respectively. For optimal performance, use either 0W-30 (for temperatures below -20 F) or 5W-30 (for temperatures above -20 F), depending on your local climate conditions.
