★ Top Answer
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.
