2.5L — LT, 4D Pickup Crew Cab, 2.5L Eng VIN A, 2.5L EngAPI - SAE 5W-205.00 QTS.—Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. SAE 5W-20 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.

Frequently asked questions

What type of oil does a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado take?

It depends on the engine: 2.5L uses 5W-20; 2.8L uses 5W-30; 3.6L uses 5W-30; Base uses 5W-20.

What is the oil capacity of a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado?

Oil capacity depends on the engine: 2.5L holds 5.0 quarts with filter; 2.8L holds 6.0 quarts with filter; 3.6L holds 6.0 quarts with filter; Base holds 5.0 quarts with filter.

How often should I change the oil in my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado?

Most 2016 Chevrolet Colorado owners follow a 5,000–7,500 mile interval with conventional oil, or up to 10,000 miles with full synthetic. Always check the oil life monitor if equipped, and consult your owner's manual — Chevrolet recommends intervals based on driving conditions, not just mileage.

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2016 Chevrolet Colorado?

Yes. 5W-20 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
