The 2000 Chevrolet Express Van useS5.1 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil when You have the 5.7L V8 engine. Chevrolet recommends that You use synthetic oil when You need to change it. There are two main types of oil on the market, synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is designed to provide Your engine with greater wear protection than conventional. This means that You will only need to replace synthetic oil every 7,500 miles compared to the 3,500 to 5,000 that You need to replace conventional. You should always make sure to check Your oil at least once a month. Keeping an eye on Your oil is a good way to make sure that it is free from debris and not burnt.
