Oil Change Interval

The 2024 Silverado utilizes an Oil Life Monitoring (OLM) system. However, the recommended intervals are:

• Normal Duty: Follow the OLM, typically 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
• Severe Duty: Change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Severe duty includes frequent towing, extensive idling, dusty conditions, or primarily short trips.

Drain Plug Torque

• Drain Plug Torque: 18 ft-lbs (25 Nm)
• Crush Washer: Always use a new crush washer to prevent leaks. Consult your dealer for the correct part number.

How to Change the Oil

1. Run the engine for 2-3 minutes to warm the oil.
2. Safely raise and support the vehicle.
3. Place a drain pan under the oil pan.
4. Remove the drain plug and allow the oil to drain completely.
5. Remove the oil filter. Be prepared for some oil spillage.
6. Lubricate the new filter's gasket with fresh oil and install it hand-tight, plus a quarter turn.
7. Reinstall the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque to 18 ft-lbs.
8. Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of oil.
9. Start the engine, let it run for 30 seconds, then shut it off and re-check the oil level, adding more if necessary.
10. Reset the Oil Life Monitor through the infotainment screen.

Common Issues / Tips

• Active Fuel Management (AFM) / Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM): The 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines feature this technology. It is critical to use the correct 0W-20 dexos1 Gen3 oil to ensure proper operation of the hydraulic lifters and control systems. Using heavier oil can lead to issues.
• Cartridge Filter on Duramax: The 3.0L Duramax uses a cartridge-style filter located on top of the engine, making for a cleaner change. Be sure to replace the O-ring on the filter cap with each service.
• Oil Consumption: Some oil consumption can be normal, especially on the V8 engines. Check your oil level every 1,000 miles. If you notice a significant drop between changes, consult a certified technician.
• Resetting the OLM: Don't forget this final step. The on-board computer uses this to track the new interval.
