In your 2014 GMC Terrain, it is advised to use SAE 5W-30 oil. If you reside in an area with extremely cold temperatures of -20 F or lower, then you should switch to SAE 0W-30 oil. Engine oil plays a vital role in keeping your engine well-lubricated and clean. Sufficient oil is crucial for prolonging the life of your engine and its components. It is recommended to regularly check your oil levels to avoid strain on your engine while driving. You can check the oil using the dipstick at the front of the engine.

In 2014, the GMC Terrain comes with either a 2.4L engine that holds 5 quarts (or 4.7 liters) of oil, or a 3.6L engine that requires 6 quarts (or 5.7 liters) of oil. It is recommended to use 5W-30 oil in the 2014 GMC Terrain.

What kind of oil does the 2014 terrain require?

I don't understand why GMC recommends using 5W-30 oil for the 2.4L Terrain and 5W-20 oil for the 3.6L Acadia. It seems strange since the 2.4L engine is smaller than the 3.6L one. I'm not knowledgeable about this topic, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I believe that the 2.4ci engine might operate at higher temperatures during the summer months, which is why a slightly thicker viscosity oil is recommended for summer driving to safeguard the engine components.
