The type of motor oil a 2000 Chevy Silverado takes depends on the engine it has. There were several engine options available that year. To know for sure, you need to
check your owner's manual. It will specify the recommended oil type (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30) and viscosity.
However, commonly recommended oils for 2000 Silverado engines were often in the 5W-30 or 10W-30 range, but again, check your owner's manual. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
