What GMC Acadia Oil Type Does GM Recommend?

GMC recommends its ACDelco full synthetic oil, called dexos1, as the GMC Acadia oil type. The dexos1 oil keeps your SUV’s engine in top form for a long time. Your GMC Acadia oil type also depends on the size of the engine under the hood. 

  • For the 2.0L L4 turbo engine, use SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil.
  • If you have the 3.6L V6 engine, use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil.
  • If you travel to a place where the temperature falls below -20 °F, install SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil.

The GMC Acadia oil capacity is 5 quarts for the 2.0L engine and 6 quarts for the 3.6L V6 engine. You’ll need to know the GMC Acadia oil capacity when you purchase the lubricant for when you perform your own oil changes in Hartford City.

Consult with your owner’s manual to see what kind of oil GMC recommends for your exact model and year. Our team will replace the oil with the right grade whenever we work on your GMC Acadia for your next oil change.

Synthetic vs. Conventional for Your GMC Acadia Oil 

Your GMC Acadia’s oil can be conventional (regular) or full synthetic. We strongly recommend full synthetic oil because it will keep your engine cleaner for longer, and it might prevent expensive repairs down the road.

Full synthetic oil is more expensive when you pay for an oil change or do it yourself. However, the oil change interval is longer with full synthetic oil, and you’ll actually save money in the long run.

Make sure to look at your engine oil life system or your owner’s manual for the right oil change interval for your SUV.
