We also handle model-specific procedures like Oil Life Monitoring System resets and software updates.

Use the guide below as a helpful starting point for most Equinox model years—always confirm details in your owner’s manual or with our team.

How to use this schedule: start with your current mileage or Oil Life percentage and book the nearest interval; bring any dashboard reminders or concerns; and let us perform a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection each time. If you drive short trips, in dusty areas, tow, or spend time in heavy traffic, we may recommend the severe-service options above—highway-focused drivers can often follow normal intervals. We rotate tires to extend tread life, align wheels when wear patterns suggest it, and check for updates that can enhance efficiency or safety systems. For model-year specifics and fluid grades, always consult your Chevrolet owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer or our service team.
