When the 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 is outfitted with the 4.3-liter V6 engine, it requires 4.3 liters (or 4.5 quarts) of 5W-30 motor oil. For the 4.8-liter and 5.3-liter V8 engines, 5.7 liters (or 6.0 quarts) of the same viscosity oil are needed. GMC suggests changing the oil every 7,000 miles, though this frequency may need to be increased if you tow frequently, drive on unpaved roads, or have long commutes at slow speeds. Some popular 5W-30 oil brands include Amsoil Signature Series, Mobil 1, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Castrol Edge, Motorcraft, and Royal Purple. Always allow the engine to cool for at least 5 minutes before checking or changing the oil. An oil change for the Sierra 1500 typically costs between $120 to $150, including labor, but doing it yourself can save you some money.
