The 2008 Chevy Equinox originally had a 3.4L V6 engine, but you could choose to upgrade to a 3.6L V6 engine. The standard engine requires 4.5 US quarts of synthetic 5W-30 motor oil, while the upgraded engine needs 5.4 US quarts. Both engines have an oil drain plug with a 15mm head size, and you'll need to apply 24 ft-lbs of torque to remove it.
