Video Description

The video above shows you how to add oil to your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD. Before adding oil to your Silverado 3500 HD, make sure that your engine was cold and that your car was parked on a level surface when you checked the oil level otherwise you won't be able to tell if your Silverado 3500 HD has a low oil level. For most Chevrolets, if your oil level is at the minimum mark on your dipstick, you should add about a quart of oil.

This video shows you where the oil fill cap is located on your Silverado 3500 HD and how to add oil. Adding too much oil to your Silverado 3500 HD can be harmful, so it is easiest to add a little at a time.
