GMC Terrain Oil Type

Routine oil changes are one of the most important services you can perform to keep your vehicle running smoothly in Robins Air Force Base. If you drive a GMC Terrain, understanding the correct oil type and the importance of using a high-quality filter can help maintain engine performance and longevity. At Five Star Chevrolet, our service experts help drivers keep their SUVs in top condition by providing professional maintenance and genuine parts.

What kind of oil does your GMC Terrain require? More recent GMC Terrain models use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil or SAE 0W-20 full synthetic oil. However, it’s important to remember that the specific type of oil your GMC Terrain needs will depend on the engine, year, and trim of your vehicle.

Synthetic Oil Vs. Conventional Oil

If you saw the term “synthetic” above and weren’t sure what that meant, don’t worry. We’re here to clear up the air about synthetic oil and why it’s important. There are essentially two types of oil that every Macon driver uses: synthetic oil and conventional.

Here are the differences between the two types of oil:

Synthetic Oil

• Mixture of conventional oil and artificial chemicals
• Lasts longer than conventional oil
• Usually more expensive than conventional oil
• Typically meant for high-performance vehicles

Conventional Oil

• Natural oil that’s made from minerals in the ground
• Lower cost than synthetic oil
• Doesn’t usually last as long as conventional oil

Most synthetic oil comes as either fully synthetic, which isn’t mixed with conventional oil, or as a synthetic blend, which is synthetic oil and conventional oil mixed together. You can have our service team install the proper GMC Terrain oil type, or you can order the oil you need from our parts center.
