What oil does a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado 2.8L Diesel Turbo take?<\/h2>\n

The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado with the 2.8L 4-cylinder LWN 1 Diesel Turbo engine requires a 5W-30 viscosity oil. For a standard oil change including the filter, the capacity is 5.9 quarts. AMSOIL recommends using AMSOIL 5W-30 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil<\/a> (DP530QT-EA<\/a>) for outstanding protection in smaller American diesel pickups.<\/p>\n
