For the 2016 GMC Terrain, the recommended oil is 5W-30 Synthetic, which is suitable for all temperatures. In simple terms, 5W-30 refers to the oil's viscosity at startup, with 5 indicating its thickness when cold, "W" standing for winter, and 30 representing its viscosity once the car is running. For the 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine, the oil capacity is 5 quarts, while it is 6 quarts with a filter for the 3.6 L V6 engine. The torque for the drain plug is 18 ft/lbs for both engine types. The purpose of oil is to keep the engine clean and ensure that engine parts are properly lubricated to reduce friction. It is recommended to change the oil in the Terrain every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The cost for an oil change typically ranges from $20 to $30 in labor costs.
