BTW, my gas mileage with the V6 has been HIGHER than the EPA estimate - even during break-in. (On that latter point, I have seen comments about less than precise steering & handling. Acceleration is great, it is comfortable and quiet, and it drives and handles well. I now have 600 miles on the vehicle, and am very satisfied. There is a drain plug and refill port making it easy.īased on Internet reviews and comments, I bought a 2014 1LT Equinox with the 6-cylinder engine. Change transmission fluid every two years. Uses about half quart oil between changes. I now change oil around 4000 miles, which is 50% oil meter. Changing oil at 4000-5000 miles hopefully to avoid the major engine failure. Feb 2019 replaced front struts\sway bar links and rear shocks in 2018. Appears to be no oil usage in 5000 mile oil change. One time oil usage issue has not occurred again. Originals had too much fade under hard braking. Upgraded front brakes to drilled slotted rotors for better braking at 30000 miles. ![]() ![]() 2014's had internal engine revisions to slow down piston rings issues. As of Feb 2018 vehicle used 1 to 1.5 qts oil in 3000 miles. Cleaned throttle body and new spark plugs at 50,000 miles. After hearing about some internal engine oil passage ways being a little undersized subject to restricting oil flow causing early timing chain failure I started changing oil at 5000-6000 miles. Only complaint is a leaking rear shock which was replaced under warranty. The Equinox is "medium sized." MPG in normal driving is 24, highway 28. I have owned minivans, big suv's, and cars.
