2016 GMC Yukon XL Maintenance

When it comes to your GMC Yukon XL, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Yukon XL could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Yukon XL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2016 GMC Yukon XL maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Yukon XL's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 GMC Yukon XL problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 GMC Yukon XL and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Yukon XL's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 GMC Yukon XL be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your GMC Yukon XL battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Yukon XL stranded. Your GMC Yukon XL could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2016 GMC Yukon XL's engine run smoother. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2016 Yukon XL in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2016 GMC Yukon XL.
