    We read the fluid capacities table and the engine fluids section of every manual listed under Sources.

    Recommended oil type

    Above 0°F (-18°C): SAE 10W-30. Below 0°F: SAE 5W-40 synthetic.

    API CK-4 required, meeting Material Standard MS-10902. The manuals also allow oils meeting Cummins CES 20081.

    How to reset the oil change indicator

    Most of these owner’s manuals describe two ways to reset the oil change indicator after an oil change: in the instrument cluster display, go to the Oil Life item and confirm Reset; or, with the ignition in ON/RUN and the engine off, fully press the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds, then turn the ignition off. Check your manual for the exact menu on your model.

    Oil change tips

    • Buy 3 gallons.
    • The capacity is approximate. After refilling, run the engine briefly, turn it off, wait a few minutes and check that the level is in the safe range on the dipstick before adding more.

    We read the 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024 and 2025 supplements; all list the same capacity and grades. The 2016 supplement also covers the 2.8L Duramax (Colorado/Canyon) at 6.0 qt.

    Recommended oil type

    GM’s 6.6L supplements say to use SAE 15W-40 viscosity grade engine oil. When it is very cold, below -18°C (0°F), use SAE 5W-40 to improve cold starting. Only oils designated API CJ-4 or CK-4 (alone or combined with other API designations) are acceptable.

    Other engines in the same trucks

    • Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500: 5.3L / 6.2L V8 8.0 qt, 3.0L Duramax 7.0 qt.

    FAQ

    How much oil does a 6.6 Duramax take?

    10.0 qt (9.5 L) with a filter change, in every Duramax diesel supplement from 2016 to 2025 (LML, L5P).

    What oil does a 6.6 Duramax use?

    SAE 15W-40 diesel oil with the API CJ-4 or CK-4 designation. Below 0°F (-18°C), GM says to use SAE 5W-40.

    Does the L5P take more oil than the LML?

    No. GM lists 10.0 qt (9.5 L) for the 6.6L in every supplement we read.

    Can I use dexos oil in a Duramax 6.6?

    GM’s 6.6L supplements call for API CJ-4 or CK-4 diesel oil, not gasoline dexos oils. Using other oil can damage the diesel particulate filter.

    Where does GM publish the Duramax oil data?

    In the separate Duramax Diesel Owner Manual Supplement for Silverado HD and Sierra HD; the main truck manual refers to it.

    The 2015 and 2016 Super Duty owner’s manuals send diesel owners to a separate diesel supplement, so those years are not listed here.

    Recommended oil type

    Ford’s recommended oil is Motorcraft SAE 10W-30 Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil. Any oil you use must meet WSS-M2C171-F1. The manuals also list SAE 15W-40, 5W-40 and 0W-40 diesel oils that meet the same specification; choose the viscosity for the temperature range you expect before the next oil change. 0W-40 and 5W-40 are the cold-climate choices.
