We inherited a 2016 Chevy Equinox with 19,000 miles on the odo. The car been parked in a garage for a couple of years.
I finally got it back on the road this past week, with a new battery - and when I cleaned the windows yesterday I saw the windshield sticker which indicated that it was due for an oil and filter change nearly 3 years ago, Dec 3, 2019.
Youtubed the oil change and see that this thing uses a cartridge filter within the engine bay - rather than a spin-on below the engine....like my Burgman!
And that the oil is going to launch sideways when I pull the drain plug. Come on chevy - what's that all about!? Silverado is the same way.

It's the gift that carries on giving, that Chevvy! If you plan on doing the oil change yourself, get someone to take us a photo at the moment the plug comes off, the entertainment value should be immense lol.

greatest oil change tool ever invented...the magnetic drain plug remover! Never drop a plug in your oil pan or get hot oil on your hands, ever again. Best $10 you can spend. (crack plug open with your ratchet/socket, give it a few turns then grab it with this tool and spin it off)
You're welcome!
