I checked with Kat's Heaters and they determine which heater to use by the OEM parts that are available for your vehicle. The 2016 Chevy Equinox with the 2.4L I-4 engine did not use a plug heater like the # KH11811, but instead will use an oil pan heater to accomplish the same thing. You will want to use the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100, which is the correct heater for your vehicle and will work on oil or transmissions with no more than 7 quarts of fluid.

This pad will attach via an adhesive on one side of the pad, stuck to your engine's oil pan to keep the engine oil from thickening in the cold weather.
