The 2012 GMC Terrain 2.4l engine oil capacity iS5.0 quarts and the 3.0l engine capacity iS6.0 quarts. GMC recommends using the SAE 5w-30 synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is by far better for performance. It protects the engine due to lower levels of friction.It is recommended to change Your oil every 7,500 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. Routine oil and filter changes help remove particles and sludge from the engine. If the oil isn't changed, Your vehicle's engine will start to have a lot of problems. Over time the oil will become thinner, abrasive, and will start to wear down on vital engine parts.
