Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use 5W-30 in my 2020 Silverado 5.3?
- GM switched to 0W-20 for the 5.3L starting in 2014-2015. Using 5W-30 won't cause immediate harm but may void your warranty and slightly reduce fuel economy. Stick with 0W-20 Dexos-approved oil.
- Why does the Silverado use 8 quarts of oil?
- GM's V8 engines have large oil capacities for thermal management and extended drain intervals. The AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation system also benefits from more oil volume.
