In the 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3, it's recommended to use 0w-20 oil for optimal engine performance. Using high-quality oil is crucial to keep the engine running smoothly. Eventually, you may encounter problems with the oil, such as engine knocking noises or even engine failure. One common indicator of bad oil is a burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential dangers like engine explosions. Poor oil quality can also lead to decreased gas mileage. It's important to replace the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid any engine issues down the road.
