2009 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity

The 2009 Chevrolet Equinox takes 4.5 qt of oil with the LNJ engine or 5.5 qt with the LY7 engine; both use 5W-30. Choose the capacity that matches the engine in your vehicle rather than relying on the model year alone.

The listed quart figures are the oil capacities for the two engines. The facts do not specify whether a figure includes an oil-filter change, so confirm the required amount and procedure in the owner's manual. The listed oil grade is the same for both engines.

These figures apply to the 2009 Equinox and vary by engine: the LY7 has a higher listed capacity than the LNJ, while the oil grade does not change. If your engine or required oil specification is unclear, check the owner's manual or confirm the vehicle's engine information before adding oil.
