The 2001 Chevy Tahoe came standard with A4.8L V8 Vortec engine but they also made available an upgrade option to A5.3L V8 Vortec engine. No matter which one You have they will both run on synthetic blend 5W-30 motor oil and they will both have a capacity of 6 US quarts when the filter is included. You're going to need to change out the oil on these engines every 7,500 miles to avoid long term damage. The oil drain plug head size is going to be 15mm and You're going to need to use 25 ft-lbs of torque to take it off of there.
