2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Oil Capacity & Filter

The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe with the 5.3L V8 engine requires 8.0 quarts (7.6 liters) of 0W-20 synthetic oil, while the 6.2L V8 takes 8.0 quarts and the 3.0L Duramax diesel takes 7.0 quarts.

Quick Answer

• Oil Capacity: 8.0 qts / 7.6 L (5.3L & 6.2L V8) | 7.0 qts / 6.6 L (3.0L Diesel)
• Recommended Oil Weight: SAE 0W-20 (5.3L/6.2L) | SAE 0W-20 dexosD (3.0L)
• Oil Specification: dexos1 Gen 3 (or API SP) for V8s | dexosD for Diesel
• Oil Filter (5.3L/6.2L V8): OEM ACDelco PF63, Fram PH10575, Wix WL10255, Mobil 1 M1-212A
• Oil Filter (3.0L Diesel): OEM ACDelco PF66, Fram CH12260, Wix WL10427

Oil Change Interval

Your 2022 Tahoe is equipped with an Oil Life System (OLS) that will notify you when it's time for a change. However, intervals generally fall into two categories:

• Normal Duty: Follow the OLS, which typically recommends an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. This assumes mostly highway driving in moderate conditions.
• Severe Duty: Change oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Severe conditions include frequent short trips, extensive idling, towing, driving in extreme temperatures, or dusty environments.

Drain Plug Torque

• Drain Plug Torque Spec: 18 lb-ft (25 Nm)
• Crush Washer: It is highly recommended to replace the drain plug gasket at every oil change to prevent leaks. Consult your dealer for the exact part number.

How to Change the Oil (V8 Engines)

1. Warm the engine to allow oil to drain easily.
2. Safely raise and support the vehicle.
3. Position a drain pan under the oil pan and remove the 15mm drain plug.
4. While the oil drains, locate and remove the oil filter canister, which is near the front of the engine. Have your drain pan ready for spills.
5. Lightly lubricate the gasket of the new filter with fresh oil.
6. Install the new filter and tighten until snug, then give it an additional three-quarter turn.
7. Replace the drain plug with a new gasket and torque to 18 lb-ft.
8. Fill the engine with 8.0 quarts of fresh 0W-20 dexos1 Gen 3 oil.
9. Start the engine, let it run for 30 seconds to circulate oil, then shut it off.
10. Re-check the dipstick and top off as needed. Reset the Oil Life Monitor.

Common Issues / Tips

• Active Fuel Management (AFM) / Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM): The 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines use this cylinder deactivation technology. Using the correct dexos1 Gen 3 certified 0W-20 oil is critical for the proper function of the complex solenoids and lifters involved in this system. Using heavier oil or non-spec oil can lead to premature component failure.
• Oil Consumption: Some owners have noted oil consumption between changes. It is wise to check your oil level via the dipstick every 1,000 miles to ensure it stays in the proper operating range.
• Diesel Specifics: The 3.0L Duramax requires a specific "dexosD" rated oil, which is different from the "dexos2" used in previous GM diesels. Do not substitute.
