When to change the oil on a 2024-2025 (new gen) GMC Acadia, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | GM Oil Life System ~7,500 mi (up to ~12,000 / 12 mo under light use); severe sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.5L turbo-4 (LK0); 0W-20 dexos1 Gen 3; 8-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
GMC Acadia note: The all-new 2024 Acadia drops the old V6 for a turbo-four with an 8-speed auto. Being turbocharged, keep 0W-20 dexos1 Gen 3 on time and don't stretch oil past the monitor, especially when towing.
