Good luck finding such oils at WM at this point, though.
#2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 1.5 OIL CAPACITY DRIVERS#
I have learned recently that dexos2 also includes an LSPI test, so drivers looking for higher HTHS oils can use that as a guide if they have DIT engines and are worried about LSPI. Lots of people without any skin in the game like to say that LSPI and d1G2 are no big deal, but my feelings are different as the owner of a recalled car. There might be other exceptions in this vein.ĭ1G2 is worth choosing for this application because it includes an LSPI test to help protect DIT engines like the one in the Equinox, and a similar engine in the Malibu was recalled for LSPI damage not long after it was introduced (the DIT in my Subaru underwent a similar recall a few years ago).
One exception would be the M1 AP line, which has had Gen 2 licenses since it was introduced but only says dexos1 on the label because it started being sold before 9/17.I suspect that this expensive oil is moving so slowly that any jugs with the proper dexos1 Gen 2 label probably have not reached shelves yet, if they have actually been produced. If your Equinox has the AWD (all wheel drive) transmission, which is an optional feature, the oil capacity is a larger amount of 5.3 U.S. All three require full synthetic oil, but at different weights and quantities for each engine and drivetrain configuration. If you find anything on the shelf now that is labelled dexos1 without the Gen 2, it is likely that either the container was made some time ago or the maker is not following the dexos licensing program procedures. The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox comes equipped with three different engine options: a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder, an optional 2.0L (122 ci) turbocharged 4-cylinder or a 1.6L (97 ci) turbodiesel 4-cylinder engine.
Nothing wrong with D-1 oil and since it is recommended in a 2018 vehicle, that's what I would run and not give D1G2 oil a second thought.ĭexos1 is now an obsolete spec (as of 9/17). Furthermore, the older a filter gets, it loses its ability to properly trap the harmful dirt and dust particles that can enter your engine. Why the push for D1G2 oil when the manual/manu recommends just Dexos-1 oil? Personally, I think this D1G2 thing is way overrated.
