2023 Chevy Silverado 1500

 

Powerful, dependable, and strong, the Chevy Silverado is built to last. The secret to its longevity around Staten Island? Adhering to a recommended schedule of regular oil changes helps to keep the Silverado running and safe from corrosion. What oil does a Silverado need when changed? To find out the best oil type for the Chevy Silverado, rely on the experts at Advantage Chevrolet with this simple guide.

What’s The Best Oil Type For the Chevy Silverado?

The manufacturer of the Chevy Silverado, GM, recommends ACDelco’s SAE 5W-30 Dexos1 full synthetic oil for most standard gasoline engines on the Chevy Silverado. The Dexos1 blend is guaranteed to match the high-quality standard your Silverado’s engine runs on when zooming in Bronx. Which oil type for the Chevy Silverado ultimately comes down to the age and engine on the truck? Here are the recommended oil types for the Chevy Silverado based on the various engine options:

5.3L V8 & 6.2L V8 Gasoline Engines

  • SAE 5W-30 Dexos1 full synthetic oil
  • SAE 0W-20 Dexos1 full synthetic oil

2.7L I-4 TurboMax Gasoline Engine

  • SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil

3.0L Duramax Turbo Diesel engine

  • SAE 0W-20 DexosD diesel engine oil

What Oil Does a Silverado Need: Synthetic or Conventional?

What oil does your Chevy Silverado need? While the experts recommend synthetic oil for the gasoline engines on the Silverado, conventional oil has its advantages. An enticing factor for Queens drivers is conventional oil is cheaper than a full synthetic oil change. However, synthetic still comes recommended by professionals as it helps keep your engine in better condition in the long run. Oil change intervals are also important. Compare the two in terms of mileage:

  • Conventional oil: oil change intervals need to be every 3,000 to 5,000 miles
  • Full synthetic motor oil: every 7,500 miles i
