The 2001 Chevy Impala'S3.4 liter 6-cylinder and 3.8 liter 6-cylinder engines are both equipped with 4.5 US quarts of 5W-30 or 10W-30 with a filter. Oil and filter changes should be scheduled every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, if filling with conventional oil. The advantages of using synthetic vs conventional products include better lubrication among moving parts, a longer interval between service appointments and enhanced effectiveness under adverse weather conditions. A motor oil with a thinner viscosity moves more easily in colder temperatures, coating engine components efficiently and providing better protection against friction and corrosion. Cost for a lube and filter job ranges between $95-$105 in materials and labor.

SAE 5W-30 is best for the 2001 Chevrolet Impala 3400 V6 engine. However, you can use SAE 10W-30 if it's going to be 0F (-18C) or above. Do not use other viscosity oils, such as SAE 20W-50. SAE 10W-30 is best for the 2001 Chevrolet Impala 3800 V6 engine. However, you can use SAE 5W-30 if it's going to be colder than 60F (16C) before your next oil change.
