In the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban, the standard 5.7-liter V8 engine requires 5.7 liters (equal to 6.02 quarts) of synthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil. Unlike conventional oils, synthetic oil doesn't need to be changed every 3,000 miles. Chevrolet suggests changing the oil in this SUV every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Nonetheless, you might need to do it more frequently based on your local conditions and driving habits. It's crucial to monitor your oil regularly, not just at oil change intervals. Using old, thick, or low oil can't adequately safeguard the engine and can affect performance and fuel efficiency. Always let the engine cool before checking or changing the oil. Some recommended 5W-30 oils are Castrol Edge, Royal Purple, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and Valvoline SynPower.
