For optimal performance, it is recommended to use 5W-40 MS Synthetic oil for the 2.8 L 4Cylinder diesel engine and 5W-30 Synthetic oil for the 4.3 L V6 and the 6.0 L V8 engines in the 2019 Chevrolet Express. All models require 6 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 18 ft/lbs. Regular oil changes every 7,500 miles are crucial as they help maintain engine cleanliness and potentially prolong the vehicle's lifespan. Expect to pay around $40 to $50 for labor costs if you take the vehicle to a mechanic for an oil change.
Can I safely use 10w-30 oil in an engine that normally takes 5w-30 without causing damage to the motor?
The 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500 performs best when using synthetic oil. The 2.8L 4-cylinder engine requires 0W-40 oil, while the 4.3L V6 and 6.0L V8 engines need 5W-30. Each of these engines can hold up to 6 quarts of oil.
