2011 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity

The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox takes 5.0 qt of 5W-30 oil with the LAF engine or 6.0 qt of 5W-30 with the LFW engine. Identify the engine code before using the capacity listed for your vehicle; the amount changes by engine, while the specified oil grade is the same for both engines.

These figures are engine-specific oil capacities, not a single capacity that applies to every 2011 Equinox. Check the vehicle information to determine whether it has the LAF or LFW engine, and use the matching amount when planning an oil change. If you cannot confirm the engine or need a figure not listed here, check the door jamb or the owner's manual.

Capacity can vary across model years or engine choices, so do not assume these 2011 figures apply to another Equinox. The facts provided list only the LAF and LFW engines and do not give a separate trim-based capacity. Confirm any unlisted specification on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
