What is the GMC Terrain’s oil type?

I just got a new GMC Terrain last year, and I think it’s time to change the oil. What kind of oil do I need and how much of it should I get?

The
GMC Terrain
with LYX 1.5 L turbo engine takes SAE 0W-20 oil. You’ll need 5.3 quarts to complete a full oil change.
If you have a different kind of engine or you find yourself driving in harsh conditions, you may need a different oil type:
  • LYX 1.5L turbo engine: SAE 0W-20
  • LTG 2.0L turbo engine: SAE 5W-30
  • For temperatures below -20 °F: SAE 0W-30
If you aren’t sure which engine type your Terrain has, check your owner’s manual. The owner’s manual is a handy reference and can save you time and money by providing the information that you need. If you want the same kind of support while shopping for car insurance, check out the Jerry
