★ Top Answer
The recommended oil for a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 is 5w30 with a capacity of 4.5 quarts. You will need to change the oil periodically to avoid engine issues. It's best to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Using high-quality oil is crucial for the engine's performance. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine problems, such as a burning smell. If you notice this smell, it should be addressed promptly to prevent any potential hazards. Old or low-quality oil can cause the engine to malfunction, indicated by a knocking noise and reduced gas mileage.
