The 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 offers two engine choices: a 5.3L V8 or an 8.1L V8. Each engine requires a different amount of oil. The smaller engine needs 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil, with a short-term option to use SAE 5W-40. The larger engine requires 6.4 quarts of the same oil, with the same short-term substitution option. It is not advisable to make these substitutions if possible, as using oil of a higher weight can lead to increased friction and premature wear and tear on the engine. Over time, this could result in early engine failure, so it is recommended to use the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight for optimal performance and longevity of your 2004 truck.
