If you ever need to know which oil to use in your 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, I'm happy to tell you that the recommended oil type is SAE 5W-30. For colder climates below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use SAE 0W-30 with no issues. The oil capacity is 5 quarts for the 2.4L engine and 6 quarts for the 3.0L engine. Engine oil plays a crucial role in keeping your motor in good shape by lubricating, cleaning, reducing friction, and extending its lifespan. It's a good idea to check your oil level weekly to ensure it's not too low.

In order to keep your 2012 Chevrolet Equinox running smoothly, it is important to use engine oil that meets the dexos1 standard or an equivalent with the correct 5W-30 SAE viscosity grade. It is recommended to use ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend. For the 2.4L engine, you will need 5 US quarts (4.7 liters) of oil, and for the 3.0L engine, you will need 6 US quarts (5.7 liters) of oil.
