How often should I change the oil in my 2018 Chevrolet Colorado?
Under normal driving, change oil about every 7,500 miles (or when the Oil Life Monitor reaches 0%); in severe Wasatch Front conditions, target around 5,000 miles.
Mountain driving, frequent short trips, dusty roads, towing, and extreme cold or heat in the Salt Lake Valley can shorten intervals. Your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado’s Oil Life Monitoring system is the definitive cue—when it signals, schedule promptly to protect the 3.6L V6.

What type of oil does a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado take?
GM dexos1 Gen 2 5W-30 full synthetic is specified for the 3.6L V6.
This formulation meets GM’s latest standards for deposit control, oxidation resistance, and low-temperature flow. In Utah winters, the 5W rating improves cold-start pumpability; in summer heat and towing, its stability protects against breakdown. We install OEM-spec oil and an ACDelco filter matched to your VIN.
- Meets GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification
- Viscosity: 5W-30 full synthetic
- Installed with OEM-quality ACDelco filter
How much oil does a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado need?
The 3.6L V6 holds about 6.0 quarts with a new filter.
Capacity matters for accurate dipstick readings and long-term engine health. Our technicians fill your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado to spec, verify the level after warm-up, and reset the Oil Life Monitor. Using the correct amount reduces aeration and ensures proper pressure in hot and cold Murray conditions.
- Approximate capacity: 6.0 quarts with filter
- Level verified after engine warm-up
- OLM reset documented on your repair order
Is it worth getting a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado oil change at the dealer vs. a quick-lube shop?
For OEM-spec results, dealer service uses GM-approved dexos1 oil and an ACDelco filter, plus a documented multi-point inspection.
Quick-lube shops may be faster for basic service, but our Murray team verifies TSBs, software updates, and recalls while maintaining a factory service record for your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. You get OEM fitment and fluids aligned to GM standards—key for long-term reliability.

Will skipping oil changes void my 2018 Chevrolet Colorado warranty?
Missing scheduled oil changes can jeopardize coverage if maintenance isn’t performed and documented per GM’s required schedule.

What's the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado?
Full synthetic delivers the best cold-start flow and high-heat stability, while blends and conventional provide less protection and shorter intervals.
GM specifies dexos1 Gen 2 full synthetic for the 3.6L V6 to manage deposits, oxidation, and LSPI risks. In Utah’s temperature swings and mountain grades, full synthetic helps maintain pressure and viscosity. We stock the correct dexos1 formulation for your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado.
- Full synthetic: optimal protection and longevity
- Blend: mid-tier performance at lower cost
- Conventional: basic protection; shorter intervals
