What type of oil does a 2026 GMC Acadia take?

• Use the manufacturer-recommended oil type and specification found in the owner’s manual; modern GMC engines typically require an OEM-approved full synthetic oil meeting GM specifications.
• Our technicians use oils that satisfy GM performance standards and dexos® specifications where applicable, ensuring proper protection, efficiency, and emission control.
• Using the correct oil helps preserve engine output and torque characteristics and prevents issues that can result from incorrect viscosity or additives.
• For warranty protection, any oil-related repairs or warranty-covered services must be performed at a certified dealership like Coggin Buick/GMC of Orange Park.

How much oil does a 2026 GMC Acadia need?

• Typical 2.5L inline-4 engines require roughly 5.0–5.5 quarts of oil with a filter change, but the exact capacity depends on the engine configuration and should be confirmed in the owner’s manual.
• Our factory-trained technicians verify the exact oil capacity and fill to the precise specification to avoid overfill or underfill, both of which can harm engine performance.
• Accurate fills, OEM filters, and correct oil types reduce the risk of engine damage and extend service intervals, delivering both immediate and long-term savings.
• For warranty work and precise service, always rely on a certified dealership so that all volumes and specifications meet manufacturer standards.
