★ Top Answer
For a 2008 GMC Sierra equipped with the 5.3L V8 engine, it requires 6 quarts of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. GMC recommends using full synthetic oil when it's time for an oil change. In the market today, there are two main types of oil available: conventional and synthetic. Conventional oil, derived from petroleum, is the older variety, while synthetic oil is scientifically formulated in a laboratory to offer superior protection and longevity. Synthetic oil only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles, compared to conventional oil which requires changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's crucial to regularly inspect your oil to ensure it shows no signs of burning or contamination in the engine.
