Well....he's not a liar, per se, but he's awfully hypocritical.  He 
tells Harry that you can tell a wizard by the way he treats his 
inferiors, but then he goes and abuses Kreacher.  He obviously has a 
great amount of contempt for his brother - not because the boy was a 
Death Eater, but because he was "soft enough" to fall in with a crowd 
that Sirius did not approve of.  

And he tells Peter that as a friend, he would have died for him, 
although 12 years previously, he refused to be Secret Keeper and thus 
gave up the chance to die for James.

So Sirius isn't a liar, but I still would take anything he tells me 
with a hefty grain of salt.
