If You've got a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with A4.3 L V6 engine You'll need 6 quarts of SAE 5W-30, while the 5.3 L V8 and 6.2 L V8 engines use 8 quarts of 0W-20. These oil capacities are including the amount for a new filter. It's also recommended that You use a full synthetic oil regardless of the engine You've got. The additives included in a full synthetic oil can offer better engine protection and works better to clean engines. Another good benefit is that You'll notice a small boost in fuel efficiency as well as Your oil economy. The benefits definitely outweigh the slightly higher upfront cost of purchasing compared to conventional oil. -
