For the 2012 GMC Canyon with the 2.9 L 4Cylinder it has an oil capacity of 5 quarts with a filter and the 3.7 L 5-cylinder and 5.3 L V8 engine have a capacity of 6 quarts with a filter. The recommended type that should be used in the vehicle iS5W-30 Synthetic in all temperatures for all versions. The torque for the drain plug is 19 ft/lbs for the 2.9 L 4Cylinder and 3.7 L 5-cylinder and 18 ft/lbs for the 5.3 L V8 engine. For the Canyon You should change the oil and the filter every 7,500 miles because it doesn't last forever. The cost of a change if taken to a mechanic is anywhere from $30 to $40 in labor costs.
