In 2019, the Chevrolet Colorado requires a synthetic oil type for maintenance. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine needs 5 quarts of 5W-20 oil, while the 2.8L 4-cylinder and the 3.6L V6 engines use 6 quarts of 5W-30 oil. It is advised to change the oil every 7,500 miles or annually to prolong engine life, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance performance. Regular oil and filter changes are crucial for eliminating engine contaminants. Neglecting oil changes can lead to various engine issues over time, as the oil becomes thinner, harsher, and damaging to essential engine components.

    Information on the oil cap serves as a starting point for selecting the right oil viscosity. The temperature contrast between negative 40 degrees in Montana and 105 degrees in Arizona will result in different viscosities being required. Consult your owner's manual to determine appropriate oil recommendations tailored to your specific climate.

    Hey Kenton Jones, the 3.6L is a V6 engine, so your car must be either equipped with the 2.5L or the 2.8L engine.
