    road noise

    I find this to be the one of two issues with my 2023 equinox and found out that it’s more than likely my tires. I’m looking at getting the Continental PureContact. If any of you suggest anything better, let me know. Right now, I have the default OM tires and they do bring in a lot of...

    Fuel Grade and Benefits - Shell

    Now that you mention the elevation issue, I’ve also heard that turbo charge doesn’t play with the same physics when it comes to elevation so I’ve been doing the mid grade, which is 88. Still using top tier fuel.

    I’ll stick to my mountains! Haha and continue to be confused with the octane levels up here!

    Fuel Grade and Benefits - Shell

    My issue is that 87 octane is recommended but only 86 octane is available in my area for regular and 88 octane for mid grade. I want to find this mysterious 87 octane regular! It would solve everything, haha.

    Fuel Grade and Benefits - Shell

    Thanks for the link, it does help support using Shell regular but doesn't address the multiple opinions on using Shell premium V-plus NiTRO+. The link you provide as well as your opinion points to just using Top Tier without the need to pump in premium. Thank you for your thoughts!

    Fuel Grade and Benefits - Shell

    Hi Group, I've heard so many opinions on fuel grade and benefits so I wanted to start a post to hear what all of you think. Right now, since getting my 2023 Equinox, I've been using Shell regular 86 octane (high elevation). I've heard some recommend using Shell premium to get the benefits of...

    Used 2023 LT - 600 mile review

    This is great information, thank you. I'm going to try Shell premium and see if I notice the same performance increase you have seen. I'm also going to try that silicone rubber lube, great idea! OnStar still seems to be an unpopular service so after each day, I'm also failing to see the...

    Used 2023 LT - 600 mile review

    Thanks for the reply, I’ll play around with my sound a bit more. As for OnStar, I’m hoping someone can actually point out the benefits that makes it worth it but right now, I believe I’ll be canceling it after the trial period!

    Used 2023 LT - 600 mile review

    Hi Group, First off, I really enjoy this group and can’t wait to order my Chevyequinoxforum sticker. On that note, I reached 600 miles in the last three weeks and wanted to give a quick assessment: - I like the power, I know it’s low but it fits my needs and I went in knowing that it wasn’t a...

    Ahh, another benefit to living in the desert - no umbrellas needed. I now know there is an umbrella holder though so thanks for the post!

    Turning radius

    This is an older post but I was just thinking today of the turning radius and how tight it is. Possible mechanical or electrical issue? I've been driving a 2014 Ford Fusion and find the 2023 chevy equinox has the same, if not tighter turning radius. I don't have any data to back it up, just...

    OnStar Value

    Hi Group, I have Apple CarPlay and State Farm emergency response so wondering if any of you with the same combo find OnStar premium an asset. I do like the theft option they offer, especially working in Albuquerque, but wondering if it’s worth the price. I was able to get another 2 month trial...

    2023 Equinox LT speaker upgrades

    Hi Group, The one thing I'm not happy about with the 2023 Equinox LT is the stock speaker sound. A couple questions: - Has upgrading the speakers resulted in any issues with ANC or drain? - What are your favorite brands for upgrades and why? Thanks, Jerome
