For the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500, it is recommended to use SAE 0W-20 oil for the 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines, and SAE 5W-30 for the 4.3L V6 and 6.0L V8 engines. In colder regions below -20F, it is advised to opt for SAE 0W-30 oil.

Remember to regularly check the oil level, ideally weekly, to ensure it does not run too low.
