The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe requires SAE 5W-30 motor oil and holds 6.0 US quarts. To maintain your car's health, it is recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles. Regularly checking the oil level is important for car maintenance. To do so, locate the hood lever in the driver's side cabin, pull it out, and open the hood. Find the oil dipstick on the left side of the engine, pull it out, and wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick, remove it, and check the oil levels. If the level is below the bottom dot, add oil; if it's above the top dot, remove some oil. Remember to check the oil when the engine is cool and the car is on a flat surface.
