Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

Chevrolet recommends using the vehicle's Oil Life Monitoring (OLM) system to determine optimal oil change intervals. The OLM system takes into account various factors like engine revolutions, operating temperature, and driving conditions.

• Normal Duty: Typically, the OLM will recommend an oil change between 7,500 and 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty: If your driving conditions frequently involve heavy towing, extensive idling, extreme temperatures, or dusty environments, your OLM will likely trigger an oil change sooner, potentially between 3,000 and 5,000 miles.

Drain Plug Torque

The drain plug for all 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 engines should be torqued to 18 lb-ft (25 Nm). It is highly recommended to replace the drain plug gasket or crush washer with a new one during every oil change to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. Most new oil filters come with a new crush washer.

How to Change the Oil

1. Gather Supplies: Ensure you have the correct amount and type of oil, a new oil filter, a drain pan, a wrench for the drain plug, an oil filter wrench, and a new crush washer.
2. Warm Up Engine (Optional): Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to warm the oil slightly, which helps it drain more easily. Be careful, as a hot engine can cause burns.
3. Position Vehicle: Park on a level surface and engage the parking brake. For easier access, you may need to lift the front of the truck using a jack and jack stands.
4. Locate Drain Plug: Place the drain pan directly beneath the oil drain plug, usually found on the bottom of the oil pan.
5. Drain Oil: Carefully remove the drain plug with your wrench. Allow all the old oil to drain completely. Inspect the old oil for any metallic flakes or unusual contaminants.
6. Replace Drain Plug: Install the new crush washer on the drain plug and reinsert the plug, tightening it to the specified 18 lb-ft (25 Nm).
7. Remove Old Filter: Locate the old oil filter. Place the drain pan underneath it, as some oil will spill. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter.
8. Prepare New Filter: Apply a thin film of new oil to the rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
9. Install New Filter: Screw on the new oil filter by hand until it
