2012 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity
The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox oil capacity depends on the engine: LEA takes 5.0 qt, while LFW takes 6.0 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check the engine code for your vehicle before using the listed capacity; the year alone does not identify which figure applies.
Read each capacity as the amount of oil specified for that engine, and use the matching 5W-30 viscosity. These figures differ by engine, not by a stated trim in the available facts. If your engine code or required capacity is not listed, confirm the information on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
