Chevrolet Traverse Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2018-2024 (3.6L V6 / 2024+ 2.5L turbo) Chevrolet Traverse, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-Life Monitor, ~7,500 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.6L V6 (LFY) or 2024+ 2.5L turbo; dexos1 0W-20; 9-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Chevrolet Traverse note: The 3.6 V6 is a long-plug-interval (~97.5k), low-fuss engine; the 2024 redesign switched to a 2.5 turbo, which will want closer attention to oil and (eventually) plugs.
