You’ll want to let the engine cool before starting the change. I’ve made the mistake of not waiting before, and it wasn’t fun!

Why not just take it to a shop? It’s usually not that expensive, and they do it quickly.

Such great advice! Always better to double-check, just like my mom said, ‘Measure twice, cut once!’

The oil capacity for the 2023 Chevy Traverse 3.6 is about 6 quarts. It’s essential to keep an eye on your oil levels regularly!

Thanks for the info! I’m curious, what signals should I be watching for to know when it’s time for an oil change?

Great question, karla08! The oil life monitoring system is a fantastic feature. It alerts you when your oil is close to needing a change, usually around 5-15% life remaining.

I’ve also noticed that engine noises can be a sign. If your engine starts sounding louder or rougher than usual, it could indicate low or dirty oil.

Exactly, melinda94! Plus, if your dashboard warning light for oil pressure comes on, that’s a definite red flag that it’s time.

So many indicators! What about regular maintenance schedules? Do those play a role too?

Absolutely, znunez! It’s recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles or so, but always refer to your owner’s manual for specifics.

I read that some people wait until they see sludge in the oil. Is that a wise choice?

Not ideal, sandymontgomery. While some might think it’s okay, by then, you could cause serious damage to your engine. Stay proactive!

Proactive indeed! Plus, if you change the oil in time, you’ll also improve your fuel efficiency. Who wouldn’t want that?

A penny saved is a penny earned! How often do you all find yourselves checking oil levels?

I check mine every oil change, which is usually every 6 months! Keeps me from becoming too DIY on the roadside, haha!
