When to Change 2014 GMC Terrain Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2014 GMC Terrain? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2014 Terrain’s oil should be changed according to GMC’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Terrain in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Terrain may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than GMC recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC Terrain. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2014 GMC Terrain Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Terrain engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your GMC Terrain engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC Terrain oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my GMC exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get GMC Terrain oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your GMC Terrain oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC Terrain to illuminate? The oil change light in your GMC Terrain could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Terrain's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your GMC Terrain every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
