The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox has different versions with varying oil capacities. The 1.5L 4-cylinder model can hold up to 5.3 quarts, the FWD model can take up to 4.2 quarts, and the AWD version requires up to 5.3 quarts of motor oil. Chevrolet suggests using a fully synthetic motor oil that meets API certification standards for optimal performance, specifically recommending sae 0W-20 and sae 5W-30 oils as they provide the best performance for all Equinox models. It is advised to change both the oil and oil filter in the vehicle every 8,000 to 10,000 miles for synthetic oil, but if using conventional oil, the change should be done every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
