The 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 uses SAE 5W-30 Synthetic oil in all engines. The oil capacity for the truck is 6 quarts with a filter, except for the 4.3 L V6 engine which requires 4.5 quarts with a filter. Oil is essential for maintaining engine cleanliness and providing lubrication to reduce friction between moving parts. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. The price of oil ranges from $5 to $10 per quart, totaling around $30 to $60 for 6 quarts and $22 to $45 for 4.5 quarts. Additionally, labor costs for an oil change typically range from $40 to $50.
The engine in a 2007 GMC Sierra needs oil that meets GM Standard GM6094M. The top choice of oil for this truck is SAE 5W-30. If you live in an area with extremely cold weather, where it drops below 20°F (29°C), it's suggested to opt for either synthetic SAE 5W-30 oil or SAE 0W-30 oil for smoother cold starts and enhanced engine protection in very low temperatures.
