What's the chevy equinox oil type?

The recommended engine oil for the Chevy Equinox iS5w-30. This is a synthetic blend oil.But what do those numbers and letters actually mean You may be wondering. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAW) has developed designations for oil that indicate the viscosity of the oil, for example, 10-30W oil. The "10W" corresponds to the lower viscosity when the engine is cold. The "30" refers to the higher viscosity when the engine is hot and running normally. Certain motor oils are designed to be thinner (less viscous) when cold and more viscous (thicker) when hot. That is why depending on climate and temperature You may be required to use a different motor oil during different seasons.
