The 2010 Chevy Colorado had 3 different engine options. The stock 2.9L 4Cylinder and the two options were a 3.7L 5-cylinder and A5.3L V8 engine. The stock motor is going to need to run on 5W-30 unless You live in a freezing climate then You will need to use 0W-30 to avoid the oil freezing. The capacity will be 5 US quarts, filter included. The 3.7L motor will use the same oil as the stock one but it will have a larger capacity of 6 US quarts. The largest engine, the 5.3L V8, will use 5W-30 just the same but if You live in a freezing environment You're going to need to use 10W-30 on this one. The capacity will also be 6 quarts.
