In 2005, the Silverado comes with a powerful V6 or V8 engine, and Chevy suggests using either sae 0w-20 or sae 5w-30 motor oils. The maximum oil capacity is 4.8 quarts. While semi-synthetic options are acceptable, it's recommended to use 100% synthetic oils for improved efficiency, safety, and longevity. To get the best results, Chevy advises using a sae 5w-30 genuine motor oil or an equivalent one from an API-certified provider. This will enhance the car's durability, efficiency, and performance, with oil changes recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
