GMC recommends changing your 2009 Yukon XL 1500’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Yukon XL 1500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than GMC recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your GMC Yukon XL 1500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2009 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Yukon XL 1500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Yukon XL 1500’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change GMC Yukon XL 1500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Yukon XL 1500 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC Yukon XL 1500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC Yukon XL 1500 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my GMC Yukon XL 1500 oil light illuminated? Your GMC Yukon XL 1500 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my GMC Yukon XL 1500? Every time you change the oil in your GMC Yukon XL 1500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
