There is nothing worse than standing in the oil aisle at the auto parts store, or worse, laying under your truck with the drain pan already in place, and realizing you do not know exactly how much oil your engine needs. Did you actually buy enough? Sifting through a 400-page owner’s manual just to find the correct oil weight and filter part number is a massive headache, especially when the old oil is already draining.
That is why we built the ultimate master cheat sheet. We pulled the official service data directly from General Motors to create this comprehensive 2016-2026 engine oil capacity guide for every modern Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac model. This covers a full decade of engines, ensuring you never have to dig through a forum thread again.
Whether you are wrenching on a 3.0L Duramax, 5.3L, or 6.2L V8 Silverado 1500 or Sierra, servicing the TurboMax in your Colorado or Canyon, doing a driveway oil change on your Tahoe, or just topping off the new 2.5L Turbo in your family’s Traverse, we have you covered.
Rotating tires while you’re under there? See our GM Truck Lug Nut Torque Guide for the wheel specs
Below, you will find cleanly organized tables breaking down the exact oil capacity (in both quarts and liters), the required GM-approved viscosity (like dexos1, dexosD, or dexosR), and the precise ACDelco oil filter part number you need to get the job done right. We added a specific “Years” column so you know exactly which generation your RPO code applies to.
Bookmark this page, save it to your phone, and never guess your oil specs again. Just scroll down to find your 2016-2026 General Motors vehicle.
