The oil capacity for the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is 6 quarts with a new filter. If it has the 3.6L V6 engine, that’s the figure to stick with!

That’s good to know! Are there specific oil types recommended for the Traverse?

I’ve heard that synthetic oil is best for the Traverse. It helps with fuel efficiency and protects the engine better.

Absolutely! Plus, the manual recommends a viscosity of 5W-30 for optimal performance.

Thanks for the clarification! But what if I’m in a really cold climate? Would that change the oil I should use?

7

Great question! In colder climates, 0W-30 could be beneficial as it flows better at low temperatures.

I’ve been using 5W-30 for my 2022 Traverse, and it works fine. I’ll stick with it for my 2023 model.

Just make sure to check the owner’s manual! Using the wrong oil can affect performance and might even void the warranty.

How often should I change the oil for my Traverse? Is every 5,000 miles still the norm?

Yes, most experts still recommend that interval, especially if you’re using conventional oil. Synthetic can stretch that to 7,500 miles.

12

Just remember, different driving conditions can affect oil change frequency. Lots of stop-and-go traffic might need more frequent changes!

I have a neighbor who claims he changes his oil every week. Talk about overkill! Will that really help anything?

14

Haha, right? While routine maintenance is important, too frequent changes won’t necessarily give you any extra benefits.

15

Good to see so much interest in oil maintenance! I’m just proud if I remember to get it done at all. :joy:

16

I hear you on that! Sometimes I feel like my car knows better than I do about maintenance schedules.

17

All this talk about oil makes me wonder how many of us actually pay attention to our engine’s health until it’s too late.

18

Hey everyone! For the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse, the oil capacity is about 6.6 quarts. It’s really important to double-check with the owner’s manual, though, just to be sure!

Great to know! I’m planning to do my oil change this weekend. Any recommended tools for beginners?

You’ll need a socket wrench, an oil filter wrench, an oil catch pan, and of course, new oil and an oil filter. Don’t forget gloves to keep clean!
