Chevy 5.3 oil capacity quandry..
I bought a used 2000, 1500 Suburban 4x4 with a "new" (40,000 miles) engine from a wreck in it. Long story but, my wife picked it out, test drove it, etc.. She's actually pretty good at that, histori...

That era of 5.3 should take 6 quarts.
It's a 2000 model but, the engine that was installed only had 40,000 miles and that happened like six weeks ago, or less. I suspect that any 5.3 would bolt into that chassis. It could have been from a Silverado, Avalanche, etc.. It's a big oil pan but, looks stock to me. I will try and locate the VIN number and look that up. It will at least give me the year and model.
