GMC Terrain Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My GMC Terrain?

The optimal service schedule for your GMC Terrain is based on multiple factors, including the car's age and trim level. To ensure your SUV gets the proper service at the right time, you'll want to follow the recommended GMC Terrain maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle, which you can see in the owner's manual. Most of the time, GMC Terrain service intervals begin at 15,000 miles and continue past 90,000 miles. Maintaining your car is essential to keep it going as long as possible and avoid potential safety hazards.

15,000-Mile Service

The first of your GMC Terrain service intervals occur at 15,000 miles. Your car will have a tire rotation at this point, which takes place every 7,500 miles. The car will have a conventional oil change, another service that gets repeated every 7,500 miles. The cabin air filter may be changed depending on its condition, but this service may wait until the next service appointment.

30,000-Mile Service

When the GMC Terrain reaches 30,000 miles, it will have the air filter in the passenger compartment replaced if that was not done before. The Terrain gets its oil changed again, and its tires are also rotated again. The evaporative control system is inspected, and the transfer case fluid will be changed if your Terrain has all-wheel drive. If you have an automatic transmission on your car, the transmission fluid is changed at 30,000 miles.

60,000-Mile Service

When your GMC Terrain reaches 60,000 miles, it repeats the same services initially performed at 30,000 miles. This time, it will also have the spark plugs replaced. The spark plug wires will be checked and may also be replaced. A GMC technician will check the car's battery for corrosion and power output. The battery's wiring and connections get checked. The exhaust system is checked at 60,000 miles, along with its related components. The Terrain may also have its spark plugs replaced.

90,000-Mile Service

At 90,000 miles, your Terrain will have the engine coolant fluid flushed and refilled. The engine air filter also gets changed. The drive belts will be inspected for damage, including cracks and fraying. The hoses and connections get inspected at this point, and a technician will look at the car's brakes, including the calipers, pads, and rotors, for safety and wear. The transmission fluid may get changed, and the mechanic may also change the timing belt. The lights and wipers will get checked at 90,000 miles.
