Oil capacity by engine

Engine	Oil Type (viscosity)	Capacity w/ Filter	Capacity w/o Filter	Notes
4.8L — Base, Cutaway, 4.8L Eng VIN F, 4.8L Eng	API - SAE 5W-30	6.00 QTS.	5.50 QTS.	The engine requires engine oil approved to the dexos1 specification. Oils meeting this specification can be identified with the dexos certification mark. Look for and use only an engine oil that displays the dexos certification mark of the proper viscosity grade. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -29Deg. C (-20Deg. F), an SAE 0W-30 oil should be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, be sure to always select an oil that meets the required specification, dexos.

Frequently asked questions

What type of oil does a 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 take?

It depends on the engine: 4.8L uses 5W-30; 6.0L uses 5W-30; 6.6L uses 15W-40.

What is the oil capacity of a 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500?

Oil capacity depends on the engine: 4.8L holds 6.0 quarts with filter; 6.0L holds 6.0 quarts with filter; 6.6L holds 10.0 quarts with filter.

How often should I change the oil in my 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500?

Most 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500 owners follow a 5,000–7,500 mile interval with conventional oil, or up to 10,000 miles with full synthetic. Always check the oil life monitor if equipped, and consult your owner's manual — Chevrolet recommends intervals based on driving conditions, not just mileage.

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500?

Yes. 5W-30 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2016 Chevrolet Express 3500. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
