dexosD is a dedicated diesel spec; very few oils carry it. Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W-20 is the common retail choice. LZ0 (2023+) makes 305 hp/495 lb-ft; capacity unchanged. The oil pump is belt-driven with a scheduled 150,000-mi belt replacement (LM2; 200,000 mi LZ0).

How many quarts of oil does a 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 take?

What kind of oil does a 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 take?
- 5W-30 meeting dexos1 Gen 3, full synthetic (required, not merely recommended). Other engines in this vehicle may differ; see the table above.
Can you use a different viscosity in a 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
- The factory specification is 5W-30 and no alternate grade is listed for this engine. Modern variable-valve-timing hardware is sized around the specified viscosity, so substituting a thicker oil is not a free choice.
How often does a 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 need an oil change?
- Per Oil Life Monitor, max 12 months. Short trips, towing, extended idling, and dusty or very cold conditions all put the vehicle on the severe-service side of that interval.

- The OEM filter is ACDelco PF66.
