Find out all the information you need to know about the GMC Sierra 1500 oil type from the service center team at Bob Luegers Motors, Inc.. 

What is the Correct GMC Sierra 1500 Oil Type?

The GMC Sierra oil type depends on the powerplant under the hood. The manufacturer recommends SAE5W-30 Dexos1 full synthetic oil for the gasoline engine. Consider the 0W-30 grade of Dexos1 full synthetic oil for when temperatures dip below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 

When you choose a GMC pickup with a powerful Duramax turbodiesel engine, use SAE 0W-20 DexosD diesel engine oil. It’s specially formulated for a diesel engine’s specific requirements to give you the most protection and longevity.

Why is Full Synthetic the Best GMC Sierra Oil Type?

There are several reasons why we recommend ACDelco Dexos1 full synthetic oil for modern GMC vehicles like your Sierra 1500. See the four main benefits you’ll get:

• Resists oxidation better than conventional oils, allowing the oil to last longer
• Excellent low-temperature flow for better cold starts in frigid weather
• Helps prevent the formation of sludge and other harmful deposits in your engine
• Better longevity for engine parts

Full synthetic oil saves you money in the long run by preventing expensive repairs due to the improved oil. 

How Often Should You Change Your GMC Sierra 1500’s Oil?

Our service team recommends a full synthetic oil change every 7,500 miles for your pickup truck. You should also purchase a GMC Sierra 1500 oil filter from our parts department. Genuine oil and GMC Sierra 1500 oil filters are specifically designed for your truck’s engine. They’ll fit better, last longer, and work better with your vehicle on every Loogootee drive.

Why Use Full Synthetic Instead of Conventional Oil?

You can use conventional oil as the GMC Sierra oil type. However, it’s not the best choice. You’ll have to change regular oil every 3,000 miles rather than every 7,500 miles, which actually costs more in the long run even though conventional oil changes are cheaper.

Refineries custom-make full synthetic oil to make it perform better and last longer for your pickup’s engine. Your engine will be in better shape with full synthetic oil because it stays cleaner for longer periods of time, and it’s better for your engine’s moving parts.
