GMC Terrain Service Intervals

What is the GMC Terrain Maintenance Schedule?

In order for your car to continue performing at its best, you will need to bring it in for routine service. Luckily, GMC has outlined an ideal service plan for your GMC Terrain. The precise GMC Terrain maintenance schedule for your model year and trim level is found in the owner's manual. In most cases, maintenance for your GMC Terrain begins at 15,000 miles. You'll need to have your car serviced periodically up to 90,000 miles. From there, a mechanic at our shop can suggest follow-up appointments to ensure your Terrain continues to perform at its best when it hits six figures on the odometer.

15,000-Mile Service

Most GMC Terrain service intervals start at 15,000 miles, regardless of the model year you drive and the trim level. When your Terrain hits 15,000 miles on the odometer, you'll need to contact our service department for an appointment. Your Terrain will get another oil change when it hits 15,000 miles. The engine fuel filter will get either cleaned or replaced depending on its condition. A certified mechanic will also rotate and balance the tires.

30,000-Mile Service

At 30,000 miles, your GMC Terrain will get a slightly more extensive service. When the Terrain reaches 30,000 miles, it will have the oil flushed and replaced again. The car may get its first or second engine filter replacement at this mileage interval. The air filter gets changed as well. A mechanic will evaluate the car's tires to check for tread level and wear patterns. The tires are rotated if necessary, and your Terrain will get an alignment to ensure safe operation and maximum longevity for the tires. The car will also have a multi-point inspection of the brakes, tires, hoses, fluids, exterior lighting elements, and more.

60,000-Mile Service

The GMC Terrain will need more service at 60,000 miles. When the car gets to 60,000 miles it will have the oil flushed again, and it will likely get an engine filter replacement. Your GMC Terrain will need to have its battery inspected if it has not yet been replaced. A mechanic will also look at the battery cables and connections to look for problems. The engine cooling system will be drained and filled, and the transfer case fluid will be replaced.

90,000-Mile Service

At 90,000 miles, your vehicle will have its necessary fluids replaced, including the engine fluid and transmission fluid. The engine air filter gets changed at 90,000 miles. All hoses and belts are checked, and the mechanical system is evaluated for general condition.
