Oil Specs for Your 2024 Chevrolet Traverse
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse uses 0W-20 full synthetic oil — GM has moved nearly its entire car and crossover lineup to this specification. The 2.5L Turbo 4-Cylinder requires 5.3 quarts with a filter change. GM's Oil Life Monitor system will tell you when it's time — typically around 7,500 miles — and it's genuinely reliable. Trust it over any fixed schedule.
The ACDelco PF series filters are GM's OEM choice, but aftermarket options like the FRAM PH9837 are fully compatible. One Chevrolet-specific note: GM vehicles use Dex-Cool coolant (the orange stuff), not the green universal type. If you're doing any cooling system work, make sure you use the right coolant — mixing types can cause gelling and serious problems.

While using conventional oil in an emergency won't immediately damage your engine, it doesn't meet the same performance standards that your engine was designed around.

For the relatively small price difference ($10–$15 more per oil change), stick with synthetic — your engine will thank you.
