The 2017 Chevy Equinox takeS5 quarts of oil. Having high quality oil is important for the engine to run smoothly. You will run into problems with the oil at some point. Old or bad oil can cause the engine to stop working. Knocking noise may come about from the engine. You could experience terrible gas mileage. A common problem is an awful burning odor. This needs to be viewed closely as soon as possible or the car might explode. Your oil needs to be changed out someday. Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or so is a good rule of thumb. If You don't replace it, there will be problems with the engine.

The Equinox requires 5W30 synthetic blend oil. There are two different engines in the Equinox, a 3.6 L and a 2.4 L. Once you are sure of the engine type you can figure out how much oil you need. On a 2.4 L it takes 5 quarts and on a 3.6L it takes 6 quarts. It is very important to put the correct type and amount of oil in your engine to avoid premature wear on your engine.

My owner's manual says 6 qts for 3.6L, but I had to put almost 7 quarts in to read full. That is what I drained out of it and it read full also.
