A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3 liter engine takes 13.4 quarts of coolant. It is suggest that the coolant be mixed 50/50 with water.
50/50 mixture of DEXCOOL and water
Should be Dex-Cool (orange colored)... Be sure to mix it 50/50 with water (distilled recommended)...
In order of probablility: low coolant level, faulty thermostat, plugged radiator, damaged water pump, collapsing radiator hose.
For a 2004 Chevy Aveo, it is recommended to use a low silicate, ethylene glycol-based coolant that meets the ASTM D3306 specifications. A pre-mixed coolant with a 50/50 ratio of coolant to distilled water is ideal for optimal performance and protection. Always check the owner's manual for any specific recommendations or requirements for your vehicle.
Water mixing with oil in your 2000 Chevy Silverado's engine typically indicates a problem, such as a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged intake manifold. These issues can allow coolant or water to leak into the engine oil, leading to emulsification, which compromises lubrication and can cause severe engine damage. It's crucial to address this problem promptly to prevent further deterioration of the engine. Regular maintenance and monitoring for signs of coolant leaks can help avoid such issues.

50/50 for most application
Check coolant level Test and/or replace thermostat Make sure heater core is not plugged restricted, or air bound Make sure coolant is being circulated by water pump Check heater control switch and /or cable
If your 2001 Chevy Silverado is still overheating after replacing the thermostat and water pump, check for other potential issues such as a clogged radiator, low coolant levels, or a malfunctioning radiator fan. Inspect the coolant for contamination, which could indicate a blown head gasket. Additionally, ensure that there are no leaks in the cooling system and that the radiator is functioning properly. If these checks do not resolve the issue, consider consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
You need a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze.
Drain the coolant, pull off the top half of the fan shroud take the fan off of the pulley, remove the belt take the coolant hoses off of the pump and take out the four bolts that hold on the pump.
