Oil capacity by engine

Engine	Oil Type (viscosity)	Capacity w/ Filter	Capacity w/o Filter	Notes
4.3L — WT, 2D Pickup, 4.3L Eng VIN X, 4WD, 4.3L Eng	API - SAE 5W-30	4.50 QTS.	—	Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification, or equivalent. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. Failure to use the recommended engine oil or equivalent can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Check to be sure the oil is approved to the dexos1 specification.
