2017 Chevrolet Equinox Oil Capacity

The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox oil capacity depends on the engine: the LEA takes 5.0 qt, while the LFX takes 6.0 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil. Check which engine your Equinox has before using the capacity figure; the engine code is the key difference in the listed specifications.

Read each capacity as the stated oil amount for that engine, and use 5W-30 for either engine. These figures identify the listed 2017 LEA and LFX specifications; capacity changes here by engine, not by a different oil grade. The facts provided do not specify whether the amount includes a filter change, so confirm that detail in the owner's manual if needed.

If your engine or required amount is unclear, confirm the oil specification and capacity in the owner's manual. For a vehicle-specific label or figure, check the door jamb or owner's manual rather than assuming a value that is not listed here.
