For the 2003 Chevy Suburban, the oil capacity varies based on the engine: the 5.3 L V8 and 6.0 L V8 require 6 quarts with a filter, while the 8.1 L V8 needs 6.4 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil type for all versions is SAE 5W-30 Synthetic for optimal performance in any weather condition. The torque specifications for the drain plug are 18 ft/lbs for the 5.3 L V8 and 6.0 L V8, and 21 ft/lbs for the 8.1 L V8 engine. Regular oil changes, every 12,000 miles or 12 months, are crucial to maintain engine health and performance.
