Recommended GMC Acadia Oil Type

GMC recommends ACDelco full synthetic oil, called dexos1, as the proper GMC Acadia oil type. The grade of the GMC Acadia oil type depends on the size of the engine in your Acadia.

  • 2.0L L4 turbo engine: SAE 0W-20 full synthetic
  • 3.6L V6 engine: SAE 5W-30 full synthetic

If you plan to travel to a place that experiences extremely low temperatures below -20 °F, install SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil.

Further, the GMC Acadia’s oil capacity is 5 quarts for the 2.0L engine and 6 quarts for the 3.6L V6 engine. You’ll need to know the GMC Acadia oil capacity when purchasing this lubricant for DIY oil changes in your College Station garage.

You can find the correct GMC Acadia oil capacity in your owner’s manual. Or you can call our team at (979) 246-4026 for more information.

Synthetic vs. Conventional for Your GMC Acadia Oil

Your GMC Acadia’s oil can be fully synthetic or regular (conventional). However, GMC highly recommends full synthetic oil for best results. Why? Synthetic oil lasts longer due to the cleansers, anti-knock agents, and anti-oxidizers imbued into the oil. These additives keep your engine in better shape.

Yes, full synthetic oil is more expensive when paying for an oil change in Hearne. However, the oil change interval is longer with full synthetic. You’ll actually save money over time thanks to full synthetic oil!

  • Oil changes occur every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for older vehicles needing conventional oil
  • Full synthetic motor oil change intervals are every 7,500 to 10,000 miles

Look at your owner’s manual or consult the oil life system in your vehicle for the exact oil change interval.
