The 2004 Chevy Silverado requires 4.5 quarts of oil for the 4.3L V6 engine and 6 quarts for other engine types. Chevrolet advises using SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil for each oil change. There are two main oil types available: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil offers enhanced wear protection and longer engine life compared to conventional oil. This means your engine will last longer, and oil changes can be done every 7,500 miles. I suggest checking your oil monthly to ensure it is at the correct level and free from any burning smells or debris that may affect its quality.

I was just looking for the most effective way to keep my truck running smoothly and wanted to know which oil would be best. I didn't know much about the differences between 5w-30 and 10w-30. Thanks for explaining it to me, I now understand better. Appreciate it, Mr. John.
