★ Top Answer
A 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 truck holds 8 quarts of synthetic oil with a viscosity of SAE 0w-20. It's recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes can help prolong your engine's lifespan, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance overall performance. By routinely changing the oil and filter, you can prevent particles and sludge buildup in the engine. Failure to change the oil can lead to various engine issues over time as the oil becomes thinner, harsher, and wears down important engine components. Synthetic oil is preferred for its performance benefits, providing better engine protection with reduced friction levels.
