Chevrolet Equinox Oil Change Service

Oil Changes are Necessary for Your Chevy Equinox

Oil changes keep the oil in your Chevy Equinox fresh. During an oil change service, our technicians replace both the oil that runs through your vehicle's engine and the oil filter that keeps the oil clean. Fresh oil is necessary for your engine to run smoothly, remain cool, and stay clean. As oil cycles through the engine of your Chevy Equinox, it provides a layer of lubrication for the many metal parts in the engine. The oil also keeps the parts clean by absorbing and dissipating heat in the engine. Lastly, the oil in your Equinox continually cleans the parts in the engine as it passes over them.

Oil Types for Your Chevrolet Equinox

There are many different oil types that are available for use within engines. Whether it is for conventional oil, semi-synthetic oil, or full-synthetic oil, every engine is designed for use with a specific type of oil blend. Synthetic blends of oil are usually used for high-performance engines and engines that need greater properties that conventional oil cannot provide. Conventional oil is great and provides sufficient lubrication for many engines, but synthetic oil is developed to supply additional benefits. Benefits, like high-mileage protection, are provided by many synthetic oil blends.

Oil Change Schedule

To make sure that the oil in your Chevrolet Equinox is always keeping your vehicle's engine adequately lubricated, cooled, and clean, you should have oil changes done routinely. Depending on the type of oil, many manufacturers recommend that drivers bring their vehicles in for oil changes at least once between every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. There are several different Chevy Equinox models and trim levels available on the automotive market, so read your vehicle's owner's manual to identify the oil change schedule that will suit your vehicle the best.
