What’s the best interval for changing the oil filter? I’ve heard varying opinions.
Typically, you should change the oil filter with every oil change. It helps to keep your engine clean and efficient!

That makes sense! I’m also curious about synthetic vs. conventional oil. What do you guys think?
Synthetic oil provides better protection and performance, especially in extreme temperatures. It may cost more, but it’s worth it for long-term engine health!
I’ve switched to synthetic and I noticed a difference in performance. Just make sure to check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations!
Actually, using synthetic oil in a car that wasn’t designed for it can be contentious; I had a buddy who experienced some issues switching too late in the car’s life.

That’s a valid caution. Just ensure you’re following the manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid problems!
At the end of the day, regular maintenance is key! Don’t skip those oil changes; treat your Equinox well, and it will serve you for years!
For sure! It’s like the old saying: ‘A happy engine equals a happy driver!’
