    When to do first oil change?

    Just go by what your manual recommends, especially while under warranty -

    Infotainment Center

    It sounds like you have an issue with the radio itself, and the display is still working. My dealer is in a small town and they service everything except the radio, they sub that out. Ask if your dealer does their own work, or where they take their radio issues. Maybe you can bypass them and...

    Stereo

    I have never worked on this, but seem to recall reading that the display itself is sold separately and not too pricey. I would think that's all you need. If money is a concern, this is one part I wouldn't hesitate to buy used from a junkyard.

    New to forum - not Chevrolet

    Welcome! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, there are lots of things i like about the 25, and a few things that keep me from upgrading to one. Mainly that my 22 is just getting broke in at 126,000km lol. The lack of a premium audio is a downer to me, maybe not a show stopper, but disappointing...

    Heated seats and steering wheel

    On my 2022 there is a setting in the Infotainment Settings menu under Climate for the heated seats to come on Automatically, you can turn it off in there. Yours may be different, but the owner's manual can tell you where to find it. There is a bunch of stuff in there that is configurable. I...

    When to do first oil change?

    A friend of mine, who has been a mechanic for 60+ years and a coworker of mine when I was turning wrenches, told me something that sticks with me. With a Turbo, or DI engine (we have both), if the oil looks dirty you are not changing it often enough. You CAN go too long between oil changes...

    2025 Equinox wiper controls

    I had a 2023 Edge rental earlier this year with that same Courtesy Wipe feature. Still worth a chuckle!

    Almost sounds like there is a blockage in the block or a head. Maybe the heater core?

    Modify system so the rear camera view is always displayed

    Does the 2025 camera stay on until you turn it off? My 2022 has the HD Surround, but when driving the camera will only give a few seconds view and then will turn off. Sitting still I can look at all the cameras for as long as i want. I guess if I was a woman and wanted to make sure a thug wasn't...

    2017 equinox need help finding PCV to replace engine light on

    Did you get GM parts for the VCT etc? I have heard that a lot of the aftermarket parts are suspect for things like this. Good luck figuring this out.

    2025 RS Speaker Sizes?

    My 2013 Nox had Pioneer, which wasn't too bad. My 2022 Nox has Bose and is way better. I still can't believe they just decided to use a standard system in all models. You'd think if they wanted to use just one option, it would be a premium system. Let's see if they get much kickback and offer...

    2025 RS Speaker Sizes?

    I think I read that the Bose was not an option for 2025, nor any premium audio. Which is kinda weird IMO. As for speaker size, I wouldn't assume it is the same as the 22-24 as this is a new generation Nox. Sorry I have no specifics.

    Low Oil and Oil Spots on Garage Floor

    That explains the spots on the floor, but not the engine oil level being low. After topping up the oil, has the level dropped at all on the stick? Perhaps the dealer simply did not fill the oil properly first change.

    TPMS Failure 2025 Equinox

    I would expect that the new self learning TPMS are indeed different than the 2018version of TPMS. Since the 2018 sensors could be 6 years old, it would be wise to change them anyway. Simple solution is to get the 2025 sensors installed on the 2018 wheels. I looked on Rockauto but they don't...

    Not under powered

    I went from a 2013 Nox V6 with 301hp to the 1.5T with 170hp and the adjustment was a lot easier than I expected. I'm pleased with the power now that i am used to it and have no issues merging onto highways etc. On the rare occasion I turn off the adaptive cruise on a highway, I find she likes to...
