A vital aspect of routine maintenance, that can be done at home due to its simplicity, is performing regular oil change. If You're considering the do-it-YourseLFApproach, do note that this Silverado takeS6 quarts of 5W-30 type oil with filter. All of the items necessary for doing this DIY servicing should cost less than $80, especially if You forego using synthetic. That is not recommended considering the size and age of the engine. A regular blend will do a lot less to extend the life of the motor and is not worth the savings.
