What Is the Optimal GMC Terrain Oil Type?

GMC recommends full synthetic ACDelco dexos1 as the best GMC Terrain oil. The correct GMC Terrain oil type also depends on the size of the engine under the hood. 

• For the LYX 1.5L turbo engine, use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil
• If you have an LTG 2.0L turbo engine, use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil
• If you travel where the temperature falls below 20 °F in the winter, consider installing SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil.

Consult with your owner’s manual or driver information screen to see what kind of oil GMC recommends for your specific SUV. If you don’t have time to change the oil yourself, our team is happy to help! We’ll replace the oil with the correct grade when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change.

GMC Terrain Oil: Synthetic vs. Conventional 

You can choose between conventional (regular) or full synthetic oil for your GMC Terrain. Our service team highly recommends full synthetic oil because it’s better for the engine and lasts longer.

Full synthetic GMC Terrain oil is more expensive when you pay for a single oil change. However, the oil change interval is longer, and you save money over the long run.

• You’ll still need oil changes and a new GMC Terrain oil filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles when using conventional oil 
• Full synthetic motor oil intervals are every 7,500 miles for a GMC Terrain.

Genuine GMC parts, including dexos1 oil and a GMC Terrain oil filter, are best for your GMC SUV. The manufacturer specifically formulates the oil for its engines. Also, having the right GMC Terrain oil filter and other ACDelco parts can help your engine last longer, giving you a better outcome for driving your SUV on daily drives in Franklin, weekly errands, or weekend getaways to the Gulf or Hill Country.
