Find out your ideal GMC Terrain oil and GMC Terrain oil filter types, and be sure to get more service tips with our experts in White Bear Lake!

What’s My Ideal GMC Terrain Oil?

Your engine oil is a crucial component for your vehicle’s performance and safety. Not only does it help all the components fire properly, but it also prevents overheating and damage. Therefore, the right GMC Terrain oil type for you will depend on your engine specs. While we recommend checking your owner’s manual to double check, here is a general guideline:

• If you have a 1.5L turbo engine, use SAE 0W20 engine oil.
• If you have a 2.0L turbo engine, use SAE 5W-30 engine oil or SAE 0W-30 engine oil If the temperature falls below -20 °F.

What’s My Ideal GMC Terrain Oil Filter?

When you get an oil change, it’s time to get a new GMC Terrain oil filter. Your oil filter removes impurities and debris from your oil, which keeps your engine clean. Over time, your filter will become clogged and needs to be replaced. At White Bear Lake Superstore, we’ll replace your filter automatically when you schedule an oil change. But if you do the job yourself, chat with our parts department or order your parts online with us. We recommend genuine OEM GMC parts to do the job.

When Should I Schedule my GMC Terrain Oil Change?

If you want to keep your car in the best shape possible, a good maintenance schedule is a must. Most Terrain models are equipped with a Oil Life System (OLS) that calculates the remaining lifespan of your oil. When you see the message “Change Engine Oil Soon,” it’s time for a visit to the service center. For most vehicles, that ends up being around 7,500 – 10,000 miles for synthetic oil and 3,000 – 5,000 miles for conventional oil.
