The GMC Acadia made in 2017 requires SAE 5W-20 oil for its four-cylinder engine and SAE 5W-30 for the V6. GMC suggests using synthetic oil for better performance. Oil comes in two main types - conventional, which is traditional and made from petroleum, and synthetic, a newer lab-made option that offers improved wear protection and a longer lifespan. Synthetic oil only needs changing every 7,500 miles, much less frequent than conventional oil, which typically requires replacement every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. To ensure your engine stays healthy, I recommend checking your oil monthly to ensure it's clean and free from any debris or burning smell.

The thickness of the oil is also crucial. For the Acadia to operate correctly, it needs full synthetic 5W-30 oil.
