Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing gas in oil issues, which can lead to engine power reduction due to excessive oil consumption, particularly in models with the 2.4-liter engine. This condition may also result in unstable speed, jerky shifts, and poor gas mileage, negatively impacting overall vehicle performance. Additionally, some owners find that neglecting regular maintenance, such as timely oil changes and scheduled services like air filter replacements and transmission servicing, exacerbates these problems. To mitigate these risks and maintain optimal performance, it is crucial for owners to monitor oil consumption and adhere to a consistent maintenance schedule.
