The 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 6 quarts to keep the engine cool, lubricated, and prevent parts from grinding together to reduce wear and damage. An oil change for your Sierra will cost between $120 and $140 including labor and parts. It is recommended to get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months. You should schedule an oil change if you experience increased engine noise, shaking at idle, excessive vehicle exhaust, a smell of oil inside the car, or if the Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights come on.
