Oil Change Q&A for Your 2008 GMC Yukon XL 2500

  • What can low oil do to my GMC Yukon XL 2500 engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to GMC Yukon XL 2500 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my GMC Yukon XL 2500 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my GMC Yukon XL 2500 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my GMC Yukon XL 2500? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for GMC Yukon XL 2500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC Yukon XL 2500 to illuminate? Your GMC Yukon XL 2500 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.
  • Do I need to replace my Yukon XL 2500’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your GMC Yukon XL 2500 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
