For the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6.0 L V8 engine the recommended type of oil for the best performance is SAE 5W-30 Synthetic in all temperatures or 10W-30 in above 0 F. The capacity for the truck iS6 quarts with a filter and the torque for the drain plug is 18 ft/lbs. The difference between synthetic and conventional is that synthetic is man made using chemical compounds and contains fewer contaminants. Oil is extremely important because it is what is used to help keep the engine clean and running. You should change the oil and the oil filter every 5,000 miles or so because it doesn't last forever. The cost of an oil change is anywhere from $40 to $50 in labor costs.
