The 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. The 4.3-liter engine needs 4.5 quarts, while the 4.8-liter engine can hold 6 quarts. Oil is essential for keeping your engine's internal parts cool, lubricated, and preventing wear and damage by preventing moving parts from rubbing together. The cost of an oil change for your Silverado typically ranges from $40 to $50 for labor and $90 to $100 for parts. It's recommended to change your oil every 7,500 miles. You'll know it's time for an oil change if you notice increased engine noise, shaking while idling, excess exhaust, or a smell of oil inside the vehicle.
