Getting a regular GMC oil change is crucial if you want your GMC Acadia, Terrian, or Canyon to run smoothly and be a pleasure to drive. Routinely replacing the oil in your car will ensure your engine stays well lubricated, clean, and protected, runs at its best, and lasts longer.

The Oil Life Monitoring System

Modern GMC vehicles are equipped with an Oil Life Monitoring System (OLMS). This system monitors your car’s operating condition, mileage, engine temperature, and engine revolutions and interprets the information to calculate precisely when an oil change is required.

The ChangeEngine Oil Soon message will alert you when it’s time for an oil change. Schedule an appointment at your dealership as soon as possible, within the next 600 miles, and the qualified GMC technicians will perform an expert oil change and reset the OLMS.

Oil Change Intervals

Various factors influence the time between oil changes, such as the age of your vehicle, the engine type, and how and where you drive your car. If you drive an older GMC, the factory recommends an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or at least once a year.

Your vehicle service schedule in your owner’s manual includes your specific model’s oil change intervals. You can also talk to your GMC technician to assist you with an effective oil change plan for your driving habits and road conditions.

The Proper Grade of Oil

Choosing the right oil for your car is essential to ensure optimal engine performance. The qualified GMC technicians know what type of oil and grade is best for your specific model and offer a choice of quality oils, including ACDelco Gold Conventional Oil, ACDelco dexos1 Full Synthetic, and Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. The right oil will lubricate and protect your engine and extend the intervals between oil changes.

A Clean Oil Filter

Your engine needs clean oil to run smoothly. A clean oil filter helps to keep the oil cleaner for longer. The filter removes contaminants from the oil and keeps harmful debris away from your engine that could cause severe damage. Over time the oil filter gets dirty and doesn’t work effectively. Your GMC technician will replace the oil filter every time the oil is changed.
