2010 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity

The 2010 Chevrolet Equinox oil capacity depends on which engine is installed: the LAF takes 5.0 qt, while the LF1 takes 6.0 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil, according to the listed facts.

Read the capacity as the amount specified for the matching engine, not as a figure that applies to every Equinox. Check the engine designation for your vehicle before using the capacity; the LAF and LF1 figures differ even though the oil viscosity is the same. The capacity information here is specific to the 2010 model year and does not establish figures for other years or trims.

If you cannot confirm whether your Equinox has the LAF or LF1 engine, or need a figure not listed here, check the vehicle’s door jamb or owner's manual. Follow the manual for the correct oil and service guidance for your vehicle.
