In 2013, the Chevrolet Suburban can be equipped with one of three engine options: either a 5.3L V8 FlexFuel engine with code LMG, a 5.3L V8 FlexFuel engine with code LC9, or a 6.0L V8 FlexFuel engine with code L96. Regardless of the engine, they all require 6 quarts of oil, which is equivalent to 5.7 liters. It's recommended to use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. If needed, SAE 5W-40 conventional oil can be used, but it's not the ideal choice as its viscosity at operating temperature is not as good, potentially leading to premature engine wear and a shorter lifespan for your Suburban. It's worth spending a bit more on the 5W-30 synthetic oil whenever possible.

Using engine oil that is not approved by Chevrolet for your 2014 Chevrolet Suburban can lead to engine damage. The recommended engine oil for this vehicle is SAE 5W-30. If you are in an extremely cold area where the temperature drops below −29°C (−20°F), you can use an SAE 0W-30 oil instead. The engine oil capacity for the 2013 Chevrolet Suburban is 6.0 US quarts (5.7 liters).
