Vehicles that use conventional oil need a change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Vehicles that use full synthetic oil can often go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between services. You should always check the manual for your specific GMC model to find the correct interval.
Correct Oil Types for GMC Engines
GMC recommends dexos1© full synthetic motor oil for most gas engines. This includes the Sierra 1500 and the Canyon. This oil meets specific standards from GM© and protects the engine in many conditions.
Using oil that does not meet the dexos1© standard can hurt how the engine works. It might also void parts of the warranty. If you are not sure which oil to use, a service technician can help you choose the right one for your GMC.
Specific Trim Features and Specs
The Sierra 1500 has several trims like the Pro, SLT, and Denali. The Pro trim comes with 17″ steel wheels. The Denali trim features 20″ or 22″ aluminum wheels. On the SLE trim and above, the vehicle includes a 13.4″ diagonal touch screen. This screen works with Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto©.
The 2.7 L Turbo engine produces 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. The 5.3 L V8 engine provides 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. The 6.2 L V8 engine produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Each engine requires the correct oil level to maintain these numbers.
