GMC recommends ACDelco full synthetic oil, called dexos1, as the GMC Acadia oil type to go in your SUV’s engine. You’ll also need to know the GMC Acadia oil grade you need to install because it depends on the engine size of your SUV.
- 2.0L L4 turbo engine: SAE 0W-20 full synthetic
- 3.6L V6 engine: SAE 5W-30 full synthetic
When the temperature drops to below -20 °F or if you expect to travel to a place that gets this cold in the winter, install SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil. It will better protect your engine in frigid weather.
The GMC Acadia’s oil capacity is also important to know for DIY oil changes in your Rexburg garage. The GMC Acadia oil capacity comes to 5 quarts for the 2.0L engine and 6 quarts for the 3.6L V6 engine.
Your owner’s manual displays the correct GMC Acadia oil type and oil capacity. If you want more details, contact us or call (208) 757-5964.
Full Synthetic vs. Conventional for the GMC Acadia Oil
Your GMC Acadia’s oil can be fully synthetic or conventional (regular). Our team and the manufacturer highly recommend full synthetic oil for the best results. Full synthetic oil lasts longer under normal conditions thanks to the cleansers, anti-knock agents, and anti-oxidizers. Full synthetic oil has fewer impurities than conventional oil, which keeps your engine cleaner for as long as you own your SUV.
Full synthetic oil costs more when paying for an oil change in Idaho Falls. However, you won’t need as many oil changes versus conventional oil. You’ll save money over time with full synthetic oil changes!
- Oil changes occur every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for older vehicles with conventional oil
- Full synthetic motor oil change intervals happen every 7,500 to 10,000 miles
Read the owner’s manual section on the maintenance schedule or tap into the oil life monitor system for the exact oil change interval for optimal results.
