Your 2010 Chevrolet Colorado requires full synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil. A suitable option is the ACDelco S-10-9246, which costs around $4.25 per quart and ensures proper engine protection for your Chevy. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine will need 5 quarts for a complete fill, while the 3.6L V6 engine will require about 6 quarts. Look out for signs of low oil, such as the oil pressure warning light, clunking noises, a burning oil smell, or engine overheating. If you notice these, check the oil levels promptly; solving oil-related issues is usually inexpensive. If the problem persists, investigate further to identify any underlying factors causing excessive oil consumption in your engine!
Chevy suggests using SAE 5W-30 motor oil for the 2010 Colorado. In extremely cold conditions below -20 F, you can opt for SAE 0W-30 oil to facilitate easier starts in the cold. It is advised not to use any other type of oil with a different viscosity grade.
