2009 Chevrolet Colorado: What is the oil type and capacity?

When equipped with the 2.9-liter inline-4 engine, the 2009 Chevrolet Colorado useS4.7 liters (5.0 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil. The 3.7 - and 5.3-liter engines both get 5.7 liters (6.0 quarts) of fluid with the same viscosity. Chevrolet recommends replacing this fluid every 7,500 miles. However, if You do a lot of towing, live in a dusty area, or make long commutes at low speeds, You'll likely need to do this maintenance work more frequently. Oil plays a leading role in the health of Your vehicle's engine. It reduces friction by lubricating parts, prevents corrosion, and helps to keep it cool. If the fluid gets old or low, it can do this properly. Not only will performance and fuel economy decrease, engine damage can be resulted. The average cost to have the oil replaced in the 2009 Colorado is $110 to $140, including labor.
