The 2012 Chevy Equinox uses an oil filter that is part number S-10590XL for the vehicle. This is a standard metal oil filter that screws onto the bottom of the engine next to the oil pan. The oil filter in your car is used to help filter and clean the oil. As the oil travels through your engine it picks up contaminants and small pieces of metal. It is important to have a filter installed to remove these components so that they do not travel back into your engine where they can do more damage to the cylinders or pistons. In general it is a good idea to keep an eye on your oil to Make sure it is clean and free from debris.
