The 2014 Chevy Silverado requires 8.5 quarts of oil for optimal performance. Using high-quality oil is essential to keep the engine running smoothly. It is important to address any issues with the oil promptly, as a common problem is a strong burning smell, which could indicate a serious problem that needs immediate attention to prevent a potential explosion. Poor quality oil can lead to engine failure, which may be accompanied by a knocking noise and decreased gas mileage. Regular oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles are recommended to avoid engine problems resulting from old or dirty oil.
In 2014, the Chevy Silverado's 4.3L V6 takes 6 quarts of oil, while the 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines can hold up to 8.5 quarts.
