What is the cause of the GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 oil leak?
Years 2007-2016

Answer

Let's see below one of the most frequent causes concerning the loss of oil from the 3.6 V6 engine of the GMC Acadia; the most frequent cause is the loss of the cylinder head gasket, which seems to deteriorate shortly after time (due to the type of material). So the solution is to remove and replace the cylinder head gasket, together with that of the valve cover; we carry out this work with extreme caution and make sure that the valves are in perfect condition!
