The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado requires SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil for optimal engine performance. This oil can be purchased for prices ranging from $3 to $43 per quart at most auto shops as well as online retailers. If you opt to have a mechanic handle the oil change, expect to pay between $40 and $138 for labor. To change the oil yourself, start by draining the old oil from the reservoir using the drain valve nozzle. Afterward, remove the plastic cap from the top of the reservoir and use a funnel to add the new oil until it reaches the maximum fill line.
In the 2005 Chevrolet Colorado, the 2.8L four-cylinder engine needs 5 quarts of oil with the filter, while the 3.5L five-cylinder engine needs 6 quarts of oil with the filter.
