The 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 has different oil capacities for its engine options. The 4.3 L V6 requires 4.5 quarts with a filter, while the 4.8 L V8, 5.3 L V8, 6.0 L V8, and 6.2 L V8 engines need 6 quarts with a filter. Regardless of the engine, the recommended oil type is 0W-30 for temperatures below -20 F and 5W-30 for temperatures above -20 F. Using the right oil is essential for maintaining a clean engine and reducing friction between moving parts. It is advised to change the oil either when the oil light comes on or annually, whichever occurs first.
