Can I change my GMC Yukon XL 2500 oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

GMC recommends changing your 2003 Yukon XL 2500’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your GMC Yukon XL 2500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
