Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
When to change the oil on a 2019-2024 (T1XX) Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-Life Monitor, typically ~7,500 mi (range 5,000-7,500), min once / 12 mo |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 5.3L/6.2L V8, 2.7L turbo-4 or 3.0L Duramax diesel; dexos1 Gen 3 synthetic |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 note: The transmission-fluid interval is unusually short (45k normal / 30k severe) vs other trucks — a real maintenance item. 5.3L uses AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation; many owners change oil strictly on time to reduce related issues.
