Congratulations on buying a new truck! The

is a heavy-duty truck that can handle all that your job (or life!) throws at you.
The 2011 GMC Sierra oil type is 5W-30. Wondering what happens when you use the wrong oil in your truck? Let’s break it down:
  • Insufficient engine lubrication
  • Engine overheating
