The 2001 Chevy Impala's 3.4-liter and 3.8-liter 6-cylinder engines require 4.5 US quarts of either 5W-30 or 10W-30 oil along with a filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months when using fully synthetic lubricants, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as improved lubrication for moving parts, longer time between service visits, and better performance in extreme weather. Thinner viscosity oil flows more easily in cold temperatures, providing efficient coating and enhanced protection against friction and corrosion. The cost of a lube and filter change typically ranges from $95 to $105, inclusive of materials and labor.

    For the 2001 Chevrolet Impala with a 3400 V6 engine, it is recommended to use SAE 5W-30 for optimal performance. In temperatures of 0F (-18C) or higher, SAE 10W-30 can also be used. Avoid using other viscosities like SAE 20W-50.
    When it comes to the 2001 Chevrolet Impala equipped with a 3800 V6 engine, the ideal choice is SAE 10W-30. However, if the temperature drops below 60F (16C) before your next oil change, you can opt for SAE 5W-30 instead.
