The two available upgrades were a 2.8L 4Cylinder turbo diesel engine and a 3.6L V6 engine. If You have the standard motor You're going to want to run it on synthetic 5W-20 motor oil. It is going to have a capacity of 5 US quarts, filter included. The diesel engine is going to need to run on synthetic diesel oil 5W-30. The capacity will be 6 US quarts for a total fill. The V6 engine will run on 5W-30 unless You live in a cold climate then You'll need to use 0W-30. The capacity will be the same as the diesel, 6 U quarts.

The 2017 Chevy Colorado uses synthetic 5w-30 oil

The V6 Colorado requires synthetic 5W-30 oil to avoid premature wear on the engine. The L4 diesel needs dexos 2 5W-30 and the regular L4 needs 5W-20. 6 quarts of oil are required to fill the V6 and the L4 diesel to the correct level. The L4 needs only 5 quarts. The correct amount and kind of oil is essential to maintain a working engine. Too much or too little oil can lead to catastrophic engine problems. The wrong oil can lead to the same.
