The K2XX (2014-2018, plus the carryover 2019 'Silverado LD') brought direct-injected EcoTec3 engines with 8-quart V8 sumps, and added the 8L90 8-speed whose torque-converter shudder spawned TSB 18-NA-355 and a class action. 2L V8s for crankshaft/rod-bearing defects. 7 with 140 lb-ft lug torque, both wiper blades are 22 inches, the battery is a Group 48 (H6), and the key fob takes a CR2032. Owners look things up constantly because specs genuinely changed: oil went from 6 qt of 5W-30 to 8 qt of 0W-20 on the V8s in 2014, the diesel takes dexosD-spec oil, and fuel tank and towing figures vary by cab, box, and axle. ## Chevrolet Silverado 1500 by model year - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2012) ## Sources - [GM TechLink, official 2019/2020 engine oil capacity chart (all T1XX engines)](https://gm-techlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/TechLink-engine-oil-capacities-2019-2020_C.pdf) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, recall 25V-274, 6.2L L87 engine failure](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V274-1598.PDF) - [GM Authority, Silverado/Sierra 6.2L L87 recall coverage](https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/04/chevy-silverado-gmc-sierra-recalled-for-6-2l-v8-engine-loss-of-propulsion/) - [Blauparts, 2020-2025 Silverado 3.0L LM2/LZ0 oil change kit (dexosD 0W-20)](https://www.blauparts.com/chevrolet-silverado-1500-oil-change-kit-3-0l-lm2-lz0-duramax-diesel-0w20-dexosd.html) - [Duramax Forum, LM2 oil pump belt 150,000-mi service](https://www.duramaxforum.com/threads/oil-pump-belt-on-lm2.1016808/) - [Costa Oils, 2020 Silverado 2.7L (L3B) oil change guide (PF66)](https://costaoils.com/2020-chevrolet-silverado-1500-pickup-2-7l-oil-change-guide/) - [AutoZone, 2020 Silverado 1500 battery fitment (Group 48/H6, AGM)](https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/battery/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2020) - [Goodyear, 2019 Silverado Custom Trail Boss OE tire (LT275/65R18)](https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/vehicle-search/Chevrolet_Silverado-1500_2019_Custom-Trail-Boss_256968-S-161259) - [Wheel-Size.com, 2019 Silverado 1500 OE fitments](https://www.wheel-size.com/size/chevrolet/silverado-1500/2019/) - [XenonPro, 2019-2021 Silverado bulb size chart (H11 low / 9005 high, halogen trims)](https://www.xenonpro.com/blogs/home/2019-to-2021-chevy-silverado-1500-headlight-bulb-sizes) - [Cox Chevrolet, Silverado 1500 towing capacity by engine/year](https://www.coxchevy.com/manufacturer-information/chevrolet-silverado-1500-towing-capacity/) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
