Your GMC Terrain is designed for all drives around Huntingburg, and it’s a fantastic vehicle for your family outings, daily commutes, and weekly errands. You’ll need regular oil changes to keep this SUV in top condition so it lasts as long as possible. If you love DIY car care, you’ll also need to know the right GMC Terrain oil type for your SUV.

What GMC Terrain Oil Type is Best for My SUV?

GMC recommends ACDelco dexos1full synthetic as the best GMC Terrain oil. The correct GMC Terrain oil type, especially when you talk about the grade of oil, depends on the size of the engine and how cold it gets in the winter months in Loogootee.

• For the LYX 1.5L turbo engine, install SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil in your GMC Terrain.
• If you have an LTG 2.0L turbo engine, use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil.
• Winter temperatures commonly fall below 20°F in IN. For improved starting in the winter, think about installing SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil.

Look at the owner’s manual or talk to our staff to determine what GMC Terrain oil the manufacturer recommends for your exact model. Life gets busy, sometimes. If you don’t have time to perform an oil change yourself, we’re happy to help! We’ll install the correct GMC Terrain oil type every time.

Synthetic vs. Conventional GMC Terrain Oil 

Conventional (regular) oil can be put in your GMC Terrain, but that’s not the best choice. Our service team highly recommends full synthetic oil for several reasons.

• Better for the engine
• Lasts longer
• Keeps the engine cleaner
• Improves fuel efficiency
• Longer time between oil changes

Full synthetic GMC Terrain oil is more expensive when you pay for it upfront, but you save money in the long run because you have fewer oil changes.

• Receive fresh oil and a GMC Terrain oil filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. 
• Full synthetic motor oil changes occur every 7,500 miles for a GMC Terrain.

Genuine GMC parts, including dexos1 oil and a GMC Terrain oil filter, are the best for your GMC SUV. The manufacturer specifically formulates dexos1 oil for its engines. The right GMC Terrain oil filter and other ACDelco parts enhance every drive in Evansville because they fit your SUV perfectly, unlike aftermarket parts that are made more cheaply to fit several types of vehicles.
