When to Change 2020 GMC Terrain Engine Oil

Need more info about 2020 GMC Terrain oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

GMC recommends changing your 2020 Terrain’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Terrain may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by GMC if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your GMC Terrain. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

2020 GMC Terrain Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my GMC Terrain? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to GMC Terrain engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC Terrain oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 also help your car perform 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. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC Terrain oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC Terrain oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC Terrain to illuminate? Your GMC Terrain oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Terrain's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your GMC Terrain during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
