The 2009 Silverado has four different versions, each with different oil needs. In general, they all have about the same capacity and can hold around 6 quarts of oil. It's best to check the owner's manual for the exact amount needed for your specific model, especially since higher-end models may need more oil and frequent filter changes. Chevrolet suggests using a fully synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil for the best performance, with recommended oil change intervals between 3500 to 5000 miles.
