The 2008 Chevy Equinox requires 4.54 quarts of oil for its 3.4L engine, while the 3.6L engine needs 5.49 quarts. It is recommended to use 5W-30 full synthetic oil for optimal performance, as suggested by the manufacturer. Ensuring you follow the manufacturer's recommendations will help your engine operate at its best. To prevent overfilling, always be aware of the oil capacity when topping up. Overfilling can lead to spillage, potentially causing overheating if the oil reaches the engine's body. Regular oil changes are essential for your car's health, with intervals of 3500 to 5000 miles being ideal. The cost of an oil change typically ranges from $100 to $150, depending on the service provider you choose.
