The standard 5.7-liter V8 engine in the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban useS5.7 liters (6.02 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil. This is a synthetic fluid, which means it doesn't have to be replaced every 3,000 miles like many are used to. Chevrolet recommends changing the oil in this SUV every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever You arrive to first. However, You may need to do this more frequently depending on Your local environment and personal driving habits. It's strongly recommended to check the oil in Your vehicle regularly, not just when it's time to replace it. Old, thick, or low fluid can't protect the engine properly and also hinders performance and fuel economy. Always give the engine time to cool before checking or changing the oil. A few recommended 5W-30 products include Castrol Edge, Royal Purple, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and Valvoline SynPower.
