The 2012 Chevy Colorado uses SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. The 2.9l engine has a capacity of 5 quarts while the 3.7l and 5.3l can hold 6 quarts. Oil keeps the internal parts of Your car's engine cool and lubricated and it also keeps the moving parts from grinding against each other thereby reducing wear and damage. The cost of an oil change for Your Colorado is between $120 and $130. You should get an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. You will know that it is time for an oil change if You notice increased engine noise, transmission shifting issues, shaking while idling, excess exhaust, an oil smell inside the vehicle or if You see the Check Engine or Oil Change lights come on.
