About the Chevrolet Equinox
The Chevrolet Equinox is GM's best-selling crossover, and the 2012–2025 span covers three distinct vehicles with very different reputations. 6L from 2013) avoid that problem but drink more fuel. 5T has its own documented oil-consumption and turbocharger complaints plus a failure-prone mechanical brake-vacuum pump, so checking the dipstick between changes remains an Equinox ownership ritual.
5L turbo with a CVT (FWD) or 8-speed automatic (AWD). Across all years the key points owners look up are simple: dexos1-licensed oil (5W-30 on the older engines, 0W-20 on the turbos), Group 47/48 batteries (AGM once stop/start arrived in 2018), 140 lb-ft lug torque, and a CR2032 fob battery until the 2025 redesign switched to CR2450. Note the bolt pattern changes by generation: 5x120 (2010–2017) to 5x115 (2018 on).
