Welcome to the Diesel Place. Your truck takes 10 Qt's. with the filter change.
Information on just about any question can be found using the "search" feature at the top of the page. Most here find it invaluable. Again welcome to the Place.

PTR, register your vehicle here. They have on-line manuals.

You can also find manuals on Ebay.

As a side note, PTR, GM states that one should expect approx 1 qt of oil usage per 100 gals of diesel fuel usage. Then the caveats...

"This rate only applies to vehicles under warranty, maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, driven at legal speeds and within design intent of the vehicle."

We all do these, right???
