GMC Terrain Service Schedule

Trying to take better care of your GMC Terrain? It’s easy. All you need to do is stick to this service schedule.

Every 2 to 3 Months You Should Be:

Gauging the Air Pressure

Because the psi (pounds per square inch) in your tires can change over time, this is something you should be monitoring frequently. Both over- and underinflated tires create a safety hazard, and they also negatively impact your gas mileage.

Looking at the Fluids

You should also be looking at all of your car’s fluids often, as their levels can drop. If they are low, you’ll need to top them off.

Every 6 Months You Should Be:

Changing the Oil

While mileage was typically the main focus when it comes to oil changes, time is just as – if not more – important. This is because oil gets thick as it ages, which means it can’t supply the moving parts in the engine with adequate lubrication. Regular oil changes allow your engine to run more efficiently, which leads to better performance and fuel economy.

Rotating the Tires

Because your tires don’t all wear down the same way, rotations are vital for your GMC Terrain. This will extend their lifespan by many thousands of miles. You will also get better performance out of your tires as well.

Every Year You Should Be:

Testing the Battery

Batteries don’t generally last very long, as at most they will have a lifespan of about five years. Having yours tested every year will let you know how much juice it has left and whether or not it’s a smart idea to replace it.

Checking the Braking System

There’s perhaps nothing more important than your brakes in terms of safety, so this system should be examined yearly. This will let technicians evaluate your components and allow you to be proactive when it comes to replacing things like pads or shoes.
