What Type of Oil Should I Use in My Tahoe?

Chevrolet’s Tahoe uses two different types of oil, dependent upon the year. If your Tahoe was made in 2007-2014, the commonly used oil is 5w-30, which is synthetic. If you drive a Tahoe that was made in 2015-2022, the commonly used oil is 0w-20, which is also a synthetic oil. You might also need high-mileage oil if your Tahoe has more than 75,000 miles. High-mileage oil has additives that condition degraded oil seals, dissolve sludge from other oils, improve your fuel efficiency, reduce loss of oil from burn-off, and reduce the overall damage to old engines.

How Much Oil Do I Ask to be Put in my Tahoe?

The amount of oil that we for your Tahoe depends on the size of the engine. The engine type and its corresponding oil type/amount are:

• 3.0L six-cylinder Diesel Turbo uses 7 quarts of 0W-20
• 5.3L eight-cylinder uses 8 quarts of 0W-20
• 6.2L eight-cylinder uses 8 quarts of 0W-20

To ensure you are asking for the correct oil type, please consult your Owner’s Manual or a factory-certified service expert at Dan Cummins Auto Group Chevrolet of Paris or Georgetown.

Why Should I Use Synthetic Oil?

Synthetic oil is great for high-performance vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Tahoe. It has low viscosity, meaning it flows easier than conventional oil. It is the superior choice because it:

• increases engine protection
• gives you better fuel economy
• helps to clean engine sludge/deposits
• reduces engine drag
• gives you longer intervals between oil changes

Although a fully synthetic oil change is more expensive than a conventional oil change, the benefits far outweigh the cost. If you want to save money, you could also opt to use a synthetic blend, which combines conventional oil and synthetic oil.
If you are still wary about which choice is better for your Tahoe, you can always refer to your Owner’s Manual before choosing an oil type. It will list the specific oil type the manufacturer recommends for your Tahoe.

How Often Do I Change the Oil in my Chevy Tahoe?

The Owner’s Manual in your Tahoe has the specific recommended intervals listed, but it is recommended you change your synthetic oil in the Tahoe every 7,500 – 10,000 miles. You can also work with your service technician at Dan Cummins Auto Group of Paris or Georgetown, KY to work out a regular service schedule.

What Happens if I Don’t Get an Oil Change?

If you wait too long for an oil change, it could result in the following consequences:

• You could void your warranty. Most new cars come with a manufacturer’s warranty, with the terms that you must get regular services performed. If the warranty becomes void, you could be left with no help when a major problem occurs.
• Your engine could have poor performance. Motor oil keeps your Tahoe’s engine clean from debris, sludge, and dirt by transporting it to the fuel filter. When this filter becomes clogged, this buildup gets transported back through the engine, creating sludge. This forces your engine’s moving parts to work harder, reducing torque and increasing fuel economy.
• Your Tahoe’s engine could fail. When a Tahoe is left for too long without an oil change, the sludge builds up, rendering the oil unable to take the heat away from the engine. This could lead to catastrophic engine failure, costing upwards of thousands of dollars in repairs.
