The 2008 GMC Acadia has a 3.6 L V6 engine that needS5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in all temperatures. The capacity for the vehicle iS5.5 quarts with a filter and the torque for the drain plug is 18 ft/lbs. What 5W-30 means is that 5 is the thickness or the viscosity of the oil at startup, w is for winter and 30 is the thickness or the viscosity at operating speeds. Oil is very important because it will help to keep the engine clean and running. You should change the oil and the oil filter every 7,500 miles or so because it doesn't last forever and goes bad after a while. The cost of a change is between $40 to $50 in labor costs.
