Cardinale GMC – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for GMC Terrain
Keeping your GMC Terrain running at peak performance requires an attention to regular maintenance that goes far beyond simple oil changes. At Cardinale GMC in Seaside, CA, serving drivers from Monterey and Pebble Beach, we are committed to helping you maximize the value, safety, and longevity of your GMC Terrain. Following a manufacturer-recommended service schedule is one of the best ways to ensure worry-free motoring for years to come. For most model years, the following general maintenance intervals are recommended, although owners should always consult their vehicle’s Owner’s Manual or reach out to our
Certified Service team for model-specific details:
- OIL & FILTER CHANGE: Every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
- TIRE ROTATION: At the same interval as your oil changes to promote even wear.
- BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION: Inspect pads, rotors, and brake fluid at least once a year.
- MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION: Completed with every oil change to check belts, hoses, fluid levels, battery, and suspension.
- AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT: Every 22,500 miles or as needed, particularly if you drive in dusty conditions.
- COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE: Inspect coolant level and condition every 12,000 miles; flush and replace as outlined in your Owner’s Manual.
- TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE: Inspect fluid level and condition at every 45,000 miles, replace as recommended.
- SPARK PLUGS: Replace at 97,500 miles or as directed by specific GMC model year.
Routine service both protects your Terrain’s advanced technologies, such as StabiliTrak® and advanced safety systems, and helps ensure year-round reliability, especially important in our variable central coast climate.
