The 2006 Chevy Colorado came witH2 engine options which are a 2.8L 4Cylinder and a 3.5L 5-cylinder engine. When the filter is included models with the 4Cylinder will have a motor oil capacity of 5 US quarts while models equipped with the larger 5-cylinder motor will have a capacity of 6 US quarts. No matter which one You have in Your truck both models will need to use a synthetic 5W-30 motor oil. The oil will need to be changed out in these trucks every 7,500 miles in order to keep Your truck in good shape. The costs for enough fluid to fill up Your vehicle will range between $25 and $45 depending on which brand You buy and where You shop.
