However, generally, a 2003 Chevy Avalanche would use either:
* 5W-30: This is a common viscosity for many vehicles, and likely a good starting point if you don't have your owner's manual.
* 10W-30: This is another common viscosity, but potentially less ideal in very cold climates.
Crucially, the owner's manual will also specify the oil type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic). Using the incorrect type or viscosity can damage your engine. Don't rely solely on this information; consult your owner's manual.
