The recommended oil types for the Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 are 5w-30 or 0w-20. Using high-quality oil is crucial for the engine's performance. Neglecting oil maintenance could lead to problems, resulting in engine failure. An indication of issues is a burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential damage like an explosion. Additionally, engine knocking sounds and decreased fuel efficiency may occur. It's essential to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine complications.
