2nd Generation — 2027 to Present

How the Schedule Has Changed Over Time

2027 — New Generation
3.8L V6 Gives Way to 2.5L Turbo and Telluride Hybrid Power New Gen Engine Change
Gen 2 swaps the long-running 3.8L V6 for a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder, alongside an all-new Telluride Hybrid variant. Because turbocharged engines put extra strain on oil, severe-duty owners — think towing or stop-and-go summer traffic — will see shorter change intervals, while the Hybrid brings high-voltage battery checks into the mix even as regenerative braking helps brake pads last longer. On top of that, some software updates that used to mean a shop visit now push through wirelessly.
2023 — Refresh
Severe-Duty Service Arrives With X-Line and X-Pro Maintenance
This refresh year introduced the trail-ready X-Line and X-Pro trims. If you actually take yours off the blacktop, follow the severe-duty side of the schedule instead: oil gets changed more often, and the AWD transfer case and differential gear oil need a look after any deep-water crossing or heavy mud run. Models fitted with the tow package also get their hitch and wiring checked during service.
2020 — First Model Year
7,500-Mile Service Intervals Debut With the 3.8L V6 New Gen
When the Telluride debuted, it came paired with the 3.8L GDI V6 and a clear-cut maintenance plan: oil change, tire rotation, and a multi-point check every 7,500 miles or 12 months, a cabin filter swap at 15,000, engine air filter and brake fluid replaced on a 30,000-mile cycle, spark plugs at 97,500, and the first coolant service at 120,000 miles. Add AWD to the mix and you’ll also want rear-axle and transfer-case oil checked every 37,500 miles. Nearly all of that plan held steady clear through the 2026 model year.

In What Ways Has Telluride Service Changed From One Model Year to the Next?

Model years 2020 through 2026 all run the 3.8L V6, serviced every 7,500 miles with spark plugs due at 97,500. Starting with the redesigned 2027 lineup, a 2.5L turbo engine and a Telluride Hybrid option take over, which means turbo-specific oil requirements and added hybrid battery inspections.
