If you own a 2023 Chevy Traverse with the 3.6L engine, you might be wondering how much oil you’ll need for an oil change. The oil capacity for this model is approximately 6 quarts (or about 5.7 liters) when using a standard oil filter. Here’s what you need to know to keep your engine running smoothly:

Recommended Oil Type

While the oil capacity is important, choosing the right oil is just as crucial. For the 2023 Traverse, it’s recommended to use 5W-30 synthetic oil. This type of oil provides better engine protection during temperature fluctuations.

Tips for Changing Oil

  • Warm up your engine: Before draining the oil, let your engine run for a few minutes. This will help the oil drain out smoothly.
  • Use a new oil filter: Always replace the oil filter when performing an oil change to ensure optimal engine performance.
  • Check the oil level: After filling, let the vehicle sit for a minute and then check the dipstick to make sure it’s at the right level.

Keeping your Traverse well-maintained will extend its life and functionality. Drop any questions you have below, and let’s keep those engines running well!

I’d go for synthetic oil! It lasts longer and is better for engine health, especially if you do a lot of driving.
