Routine car maintenance is vital to keeping your GMC model in excellent condition for years. While there are some basic maintenance inspections and tasks you can do yourself to ensure your Terrain, Acadia, or Canyon is running at its best, getting help from the qualified technicians at your Chevy dealer will help detect issues early on and prevent high repair costs down the road.

1. Read the Owner’s Manual

It’s essential to familiarize yourself with your vehicle’s owner’s manual to help you keep your car in top condition. The owner’s manual contains all the important information you need about your car, including the service schedule and maintenance intervals, information about the dashboard warning lights, and the proper grade of oil to use for your car.

2. Service Your Car at the Recommended Intervals

One of the most important pieces of maintenance advice we can offer is to adhere to the recommended service schedule and bring your vehicle to us at the recommended intervals. We know every system and component in your car and have the knowledge to keep it running like new. Keep an eye on the Oil Life Monitoring System and schedule an appointment for an oil change as soon as the light goes on to avoid severe damage to your engine.

3. Use the Correct Oil

Using the proper grade of oil is essential in safeguarding your car’s engine, keeping it lubricated, clean, and protected. We suggest using ACDelco Gold Conventional Oil, ACDelco dexos1 Full Synthetic Oil, or Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Oil with additives that protect your engine against corrosion and contaminants and offer exceptional lubrication.

4. Pay Attention to the Warning Lights

The warning lights on your dashboard alert you of vehicle problems. Understanding what each light means is crucial. If a warning light is on, schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible, and our technicians will read and interpret the diagnostic data and repair the issue expertly.

5. Perform Regular Fluid Checks and Top-Offs

Your car’s fluids ensure the moving components are well-lubricated, cool, and protected against wear. Regularly check all the fluid levels, including the oil, brake, coolant, transmission, and power steering fluids, and top them off to the proper levels if needed. 

6. Choose Genuine GM and ACDelco Parts

Opting for genuine GM and ACDelco Original Equipment parts for your vehicle is the best decision you can make, as these parts are precision-engineered for your car and are reliable and durable. Most genuine GM and ACDelco Original Equipment parts bought and installed by us are warranty-covered for 24 months.
