The Chevy 2500HD with the 6.0L gas engine requires using SAE 5W-40 engine oil. Chevrolet advises using synthetic oil for oil changes. There are two main oil types available: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is designed to provide better wear protection and longer lifespan compared to conventional petroleum-based oil. This means oil changes are needed less frequently with synthetic - every 7,500 miles compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional. It's important to regularly check the oil level at least monthly and ensure it is clean without debris or dark signs indicating burning.

Hey Kelly, you should consider returning to school. Remember, there are 4 quarts in a gallon, which means that 10 quarts of oil is equivalent to 2.5 gallons. The 6.0 engine holds 6 quarts of 5w-30 conventional oil. I am aware of this because I own a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.0-liter engine.
