Quick answer: the 2019–2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L and 6.2L V8 take 8.0 qt (7.6 L) of oil with a filter change, the 2.7L turbo and 4.3L V6 take 6.0 qt (5.7 L) of SAE 5W-30, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel takes 7.0 qt (6.6 L) of 0W-20 dexosD. The 5.3L uses 0W-20.
| Engine | Oil capacity (with filter) | Oil type | Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7L turbo 4-cylinder | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-30 | dexos1 |
| 4.3L V6 (2019–2021) | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-30 | dexos1 |
| 5.3L V8 | 8.0 qt (7.6 L) | 0W-20 | dexos1 |
| 6.2L V8 | 8.0 qt (7.6 L) | 0W-20 (2019–2020, 2025); see oil fill cap (2021–2024) | dexos1 |
| 3.0L Duramax diesel (LM2/LZ0) | 7.0 qt (6.6 L) | 0W-20 | dexosD |
Check the oil fill cap on a 2021–2024 6.2L. The 2021–2024 manuals do not give a single grade for the 6.2L V8: they say to use the viscosity printed on the engine oil fill cap. The 2019–2020 and 2025 manuals list 0W-20. The 5.3L stays on 0W-20 and the 2.7L turbo on 5W-30 in every year.

Recommended oil type
5.3L V8: SAE 0W-20 dexos1.
6.2L V8: SAE 0W-20 in the 2019, 2020 and 2025 manuals; the 2021–2024 manuals say to follow the grade on the oil fill cap.
2.7L turbo and 4.3L V6: SAE 5W-30; 0W-30 may be used below -20°F (-29°C).
3.0L Duramax diesel: SAE 0W-20 meeting dexosD (ACDelco dexosD recommended), 7.0 qt (6.6 L), per the Duramax 3.0L owner’s manual supplement.
GM requires oils that meet its dexos specification (dexos1 for gasoline engines, dexos2 or dexosD for diesels) and carry the dexos approved logo. ACDelco dexos oil is recommended. Do not add anything to the oil.
How to reset the oil life on the 2019–2025 Chevy Silverado 1500
See also: Oil life reset by brand.
- Display the oil life percentage on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
- Press the thumbwheel on the steering wheel (or the trip odometer reset stem if there are no DIC controls) for several seconds.
- When the confirmation message displays, select YES. The oil life changes to 100%.
Reset only after an oil change; the system will not reset itself.
Oil change tips
- The V8 needs two 5-quart jugs; the 2.7L turbo needs one 5-quart jug plus a quart.
- Add a little less than the full capacity, run the engine briefly, wait, and check the dipstick before topping up.
- The 2019 Silverado LD (carryover body) has a separate owner’s manual on GM’s site; this page covers the new 2019 Silverado 1500.
