For the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Pickup with the 6.6L 8-cylinder L5P Diesel Turbo engine, the oil capacity is 10 quarts (with filter). The recommended viscosity is 15W-40 for ambient temperatures above -18\u00b0C (0\u00b0F), though 5W-40 is recommended for all temperatures or to improve cold starting when temperatures are below 0\u00b0F. AMSOIL recommends using Signature Series 15W-40 Max-Duty Diesel Oil<\/a> paired with an AMSOIL Oil Filter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What oil does a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 L5P take?<\/h2>\n

For standard operating temperatures above -18\u00b0C (0\u00b0F), a viscosity of 15W-40 is appropriate. However, if you are operating in environments where ambient temperatures drop below 0\u00b0F (-18\u00b0C), it is recommended to use 5W-40 to improve cold starting performance.<\/p>\n
