Chevrolet's compact-plus crossover brings together many attributes that make it such a stellar pick for families: tons of room, advanced technology, enhanced safety, and refinement, all wrapped in an affordable package. In a sea of compact crossovers, it's easy to see why the Equinox floats to the top for so many buyers. The V-6 is offered only on the LT and LTZ, and we tend to think that while it's smooth and strong, it isn't quick enough to justify the significant increase in thirst it does however allow a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. The Equinox is offered in a streamlined lineup of L, LS, LT, and LTZ models the L will likely be fleet-minded and is front-wheel-drive only, while the rest of the lineup offers available all-wheel drive. Both that engine or the available 301-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 come paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter direct-injection inline-4, making 182 hp, is one of the most fuel-efficient engines in its class-and plenty quick for most family needs, while it renews its 32-mpg EPA highway rating in front-wheel-drive guise. What's under the hood doesn't change this year, and that's fine. Fabrics have been redesigned on the L and LS models while there's a new Saddle Up interior color. As for the interior, the Equinox gets an equivalent brightening, with new chrome shift buttons, new graphics for the instrument panel, a redesigned center stack with a new storage shelf. Otherwise the Equinox continues with essentially the same handsome sheet metal and profile it's had since 2010-which has aged quite well, considering.
2016 equinox oil capacity update#
The top LTZ gets new fog lamps, while V-6 models get chrome exhaust outlets additionally new wheels, revised lower fascias, and more brightwork all around serve to update the look. When I google oil filter for my specific car, the results show the standard oil filter that I'm used to seeing.Chevrolet vehicles have been given a new dual-port grille design over the past couple of years, and now the Equinox steps in with the rest of the lineup accompanying the new grille is a more sculpted lower front fascia design, as well as new reflector-style headlamps on all models, with LED running lamps on the LT and LTZ. I haven't bought anything yet, want to make sure I get the right type of filter. What is that filter, and what cars do those apply to? That cartridge cap/paper filter set up is throwing me off. Then when I see another video, it showed a typical oil filter that screwed in from underneath the car. A couple of videos I did see, have an oil filter that was like a plastic cartridge, where a ribbed paper filter would slide into it. I'm trying to see where everything is, and possibly what all is needed (type of filter, and tool sizes).

I know there is not much in the way of how to videos on changing the oil on these vehicles since they are still so new. I didn't notice it till some time after when I popped the hood.
2016 equinox oil capacity free#
The first free oil change by the dealer ended up with the mechanic spilling oil on the top of the engine cover. I like doing my own maintenance if possible. Sure I could take it in to have it done, but no thanks. We are in the cold weather season, so I'd like to get in and get out, and have the oil change complete.
Here in the next month or so, I will be doing my own oil change on my 2019 Equinox.
