How often do you change the oil in a S-10?
between 7,000-10,000 miles
The broad guideline for Chevrolet vehicle oil changes is between 7,000-10,000 miles. That said, certain vehicles will need their oil changed sooner, and this is doubly true for vehicles being driven hard.
What oil is recommended for a 4.3 Vortec?
PYB 5w-30 or 10w-30 would be a great choice… this engine seems to like the high moly.
What kind of oil does a 2001 Chevy s10 2.2 L take?
SAE 5W-30
Oil Grade: API*
| Viscosity: | All TEMPS….5W-30 – SAE 5W-30 is preferred. Above 0 F .10W-30 |
|---|---|
| Notes: | (1) If using E85 or M85 fuels, use AMSOIL of the appropriate viscosity for the OEM recommended drain interval. Extended oil drains can only be extended through oil analysis when these fuels are used. |

Can I use 10w30 instead of 5w30?
Yes. 5w30 and 10w30 are both 30 weight oils and the exact same thickness in your engine when it is at operating temperature. The 5w30 is better because it thickens less when cool or cold. 80% of wear occurs at start up.

Can you mix 10W30 instead of 5w30?
Yes, it is perfectly safe for you to mix 5W-30 and 10W-30 engine oils. Thanks to their close viscosity, mixing the two oils will have no damaging effect on the engine. It’s worth remembering that 10W-30 has more density than 5W-30, so make sure you pour an appropriate amount when mixing.
