Chevrolet Colorado Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
When to change the oil on a 2023-2024 (2.7L turbo) Chevrolet Colorado, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-Life Monitor, ~7,500 mi; off-road/tow sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.7L turbo-4 (L3B); dexos1 0W-20 synthetic; 8-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Chevrolet Colorado note: The 2023 redesign is 2.7-turbo-only. As a midsize truck, gear oils (front/rear diff) and the air filter matter most if you off-road; the turbo likes on-time oil.
