Chevy Equinox Oil Change Service

Synthetic Motor Oil

Synthetic motor oil is recommended for the Chevy Equinox. It is made with petroleum resources but the level of refinement makes it a man-made product. The advanced refinement creates a smaller molecule with the thinnest viscosity. It costs slightly more than the alternatives due to the refinement needed for premium lubrication, but the extra cost comes with better lubrication and less frequent oil changes every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

Risks of Higher Mileage Oil Changes

We know that it can be difficult, or maybe even a hassle sometimes, to get an oil change when it’s due. It is important to remember that the engine is the heart of your vehicle, and getting the most out of it requires much-needed oil changes at the recommended miles. Putting off the service until later invites the risks of higher mileage oil changes. Check out the risks of higher mileage oil changes if your Equinox is due for service but you are considering putting it off until later:

• Broken down motor oil provides poor lubrication that increases friction & heat among internal components.
• Excessive friction & heat cause premature internal component wear & tear
• Increased friction reduces fuel efficiency
• Premature wear & tear increases the likelihood of needing repairs
• Increased operational cost
• Shorter engine life
