If you own a 2011 GMC Terrain with a 3.0 L V6 engine, it requires 6 quarts of oil, while the 2.4 L engine needs 5 quarts. Both engines perform best with SAE 5W-30 oil. Look for an oil that is dexos approved, but one with the API certification mark is also acceptable. The Castrol GTX Magnatec is a popular and budget-friendly choice that meets these requirements, priced around $20 for a 5-quart container. This full synthetic oil provides strong engine protection against wear and tear.

    I can help with that! "30 synthetic" could be rephrased as "a total of 30 artificial or man-made.
