Chevy Equinox Oil Change Schedule
Schedule Your Next Oil Change at i.g. Burton Chevrolet of Milford
We all know that there is nothing like driving around in a Chevy Equinox. These are the types of SUVs that just work for everyone, and thanks to their longevity, you can stay behind the wheel of one for years to come. How is that possible? Well, whether you're joining us from Milford or Dover, we want to make sure you are aware of how important routine service is for your Equinox. This is something that our team here at i.g. Burton Chevrolet of Milford is incredibly passionate about. We don't only want you to find your ideal ride, but we also want to give you all of the tools for success that are necessary for your life. In today's case, we want to focus on routine oil changes and why you should care about them in the first place.
What kinds of engine oil are available?
- Conventional motor oil: The very first type of engine oil that we want to mention in this list is conventional motor oil. This is likely the first thing that pops into your mind when you think about engine oil. What makes conventional motor oil? This is refined crude oil that has been cleared of impurities, with a few additives included to make sure it is enhanced as much as possible. For anyone with normal driving patterns, this could be a great option for your Equinox.
- Fully synthetic motor oil: What else is available for your Equinox? We're excited to discuss fully synthetic motor oil, which is completely manufactured by human beings! This means that it has been extensively refined, with multiple additives that help give this oil an extra boost above the rest. If you're someone who tows things or handles any dirt roads, then synthetic oil could be the solution to any issues you could potentially be having.
- Synthetic blend motor oil: Anyone who wants the best of both worlds may be interested in synthetic blend motor oil. This mixture of synthetic and conventional oil provides you with the additives you want for your engine to keep things as clean as possible, but you don't have to worry about the price tag being out of reach for your current budget.
- High-mileage motor oil: The final option available to you is high-mileage motor oil. Does your Equinox have over 75,000 miles on it? If the answer is yes, then this may be the solution to help ensure that it lasts that much longer out on the road. Take this as an opportunity to invest in your ride without having to pay exorbitant costs for repairs.
Can you tell me why oil changes are important?
We're discussing a lot about oil changes, but you may not be aware of why they're something you should be caring about in the first place. We are not all car experts, and we shouldn't have to be to take great care of our ride. So, how does engine oil work? In your Equinox, the engine consists of many small, fast-moving metal pieces. With all of this kinetic energy, friction, which then turns into heat, can create a system that can be easily damaged if not properly lubricated. For that reason, engine oil is incredibly important as it reduces the heat that is produced, and it eliminates all of the friction that would otherwise be in the system! When that oil is left for too long without being changed, it can start to accumulate things like dirt, dust, and even leaves. That's why oil changes should happen regularly; otherwise, friction can start to come back and cause issues.
How often should the Chevy Equinox get an oil change?
At i.g. Burton Chevrolet of Milford, we want to start by saying that this question should always be answered by checking out your Equinox's owner's manual. That is where all of the key maintenance information will be, and our team always abides by what Chevy deems necessary. Beyond that, it's important to consider your own driving habits, including whether or not you are towing often, and if you are driving along dirt roads often or not. This can all lead to a change in schedule, or maybe a suggestion that you should be opting for a different kind of engine oil. We'll discuss all of these things with you in person to ensure that your Equinox is getting the right service when it should. We're here for you no matter what.
