The 2.0 liter turbocharged engine in the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox requireS5.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor in the front wheel drive variant, while all wheel drive ups the capacity to 6.0 quarts. In either case, You can safely substitute SAE 5W-40 full synthetic over the short term, but it's not recommended for use in long term applications because of the introduction of friction. Friction's great on tires; not so much within in an engine. It can quickly cause premature wear and tear on the engine, which can lead to an early failure. Therefore, it's always recommended that You use the manufacturer's specified oil with the lowest weight, even if it costs You a bit more per change. Trust me, You'll thank Yourself in the long term.
