★ Top Answer
The 2018 Chevy Trax requires 3.97 liters (4.2 quarts) of 5W-30 motor oil. Some good oil brands to consider are Pennzoil Platinum, Quaker State, Mobil 1, Castrol GTX, and Royal Purple. Chevrolet suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you regularly drive long distances at low speeds, live on a dirt road, or do light off-roading, you might need to change the oil more often. It's important to check the oil regularly to prevent costly engine damage that can occur from running on old or low oil levels. This helps maintain optimal performance and fuel efficiency. The average cost for an oil change on the 2018 Trax is between $110 and $130, with labor typically accounting for $30 to $50 of that total.
