The 2016 Chevrolet Suburban requires 8 quarts of oil with a filter. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use 0W-20 Synthetic oil, and the drain plug should be tightened with 18 ft/lbs of torque. The viscosity grade 0W-20 indicates that the oil is thin when the engine is cold (0), suitable for winter conditions (W), and maintains optimal thickness at operating speeds (20). Lower viscosity numbers mean the oil is thinner and reduces friction. It is advised to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles, with labor costs for an oil change typically ranging from $20 to $30 if done by a mechanic.
The 2016 Chevy Suburban needs a total of 8 quarts of oil across all 3 trims – the LS, LT, and LTZ.
