When using the 2.8-liter engine, the 2006 GMC Canyon requires 4.73 liters (5.0 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil, while the 3.5-liter V6 engine needs 5.7 liters (6.0 quarts) of the same type of oil. This particular oil is a popular choice because it works well in various engines under different weather conditions. It helps reduce friction by lubricating moving parts, cooling the engine, and even improving performance and fuel efficiency. GMC suggests changing the oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, you might need to do it more often depending on your local conditions and driving style. The average cost for an oil change on the Canyon is around $120 to $150, with labor making up $30 to $50 of that amount. Doing the oil change yourself can help you save some money.

The 2006 GMC Canyon requires slightly more than 5 quarts of oil with a filter change. Make sure to park the truck on a flat surface. Begin by draining the old oil and replacing the filter. Pour in 5 quarts of new oil, then start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds. After that, turn off the engine, wait for 30 minutes, and then check the oil level to ensure it's correct.
