The 2009 Chevrolet Suburban requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a 6-quart capacity to keep its internal engine parts cool, lubricated, and prevent wear and damage from parts grinding against each other. The cost of an oil change for the Suburban ranges from $40 to $50 for labor and $90 to $100 for parts. It is recommended to change the oil every 150,000 miles. Warning signs that indicate the need for an oil change include engine ticking sounds, transmission problems, shaking while idling, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights.
The engine oil capacity for the 2009 Chevy Suburban is 6.0 quarts or 5.7 liters. You should use oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M and has a viscosity grade of 5W-30. Avoid using different viscosity grade oils like SAE 20W-50.
