2008 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity
The 2008 Chevrolet Equinox oil capacity depends on the engine: the LNJ takes 4.5 qt, while the LY7 takes 5.5 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check your vehicle’s engine designation before choosing a capacity, since the listed amount changes by engine rather than being one figure for every Equinox.
Read each capacity as the oil quantity associated with that engine, and use the matching 5W-30 specification. These facts do not give separate capacity changes by trim or other equipment, so do not assume a trim changes the listed amount. If you cannot identify the engine or need a figure not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Use the capacity as a reference when servicing the vehicle, and verify the correct engine-specific figure for your Equinox. The listed facts cover the LNJ and LY7 only; for any other engine or an unlisted specification, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
