In 2009, the Chevy Silverado 1500 requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil, with a 4.3-liter engine capacity of 4.5 quarts. The oil plays a crucial role in keeping the engine parts cool, lubricated, and preventing wear and damage from parts rubbing against each other. The cost of an oil change for the Silverado typically ranges between $40 and $50 for labor and $90 to $100 for parts. It is recommended to get an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs that you need an oil change include increased engine noise, shaking while idling, excess exhaust, an oil smell inside the vehicle, and the Check Engine or Oil Change lights turning on.

Thank you so much for your help! It was so frustrating trying to find this basic answer online. My truck didn't come with a manual when I bought it used, and it's been a nightmare trying to track down this information for the past 37 minutes.

In 2009, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks had different engine types with varying oil capacities. Most models like the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L required 6.0 US quarts (5.7 liters) of oil, while the 4.3L model needed 4.5 US quarts (4.3 liters). To keep these trucks running smoothly, it's important to use oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M and has a viscosity grade of 5W-30. Avoid using oils with different viscosity grades such as SAE 20W-50 to ensure proper performance.

I've been loyal to Pennzoil for as long as I can remember. The amount of oil needed varies depending on whether you have a 4.8, 5.3, or 6.2-liter engine.
