The 2010 Chevy Equinox requires SAE 5w-30 engine oil with a capacity of 5 quarts for the 2.4l engine. Oil is crucial as it reduces friction, wear, and internal component corrosion. An oil change for your Equinox typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. It is recommended to have an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs indicating the need for an oil change may include engine ticking, transmission issues, idling shakes, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the activation of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.

    Chevy suggests that you should use SAE 5W-30 engine oil for the 2010 Equinox. If it gets colder than -20 F, you can opt for SAE 0W-30 oil to assist with starting in cold weather. Using any other type of oil viscosity is not advised.
