1996 GMC Yukon Maintenance Schedule

You want your GMC Yukon to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Yukon has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Yukon, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1996 GMC Yukon maintenance schedule!

GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Yukon's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 GMC Yukon problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 GMC Yukon for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Yukon’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 GMC Yukon? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Yukon may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Yukon 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Yukon) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Yukon could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 GMC Yukon running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 Yukon in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 GMC Yukon? We can help with that, too!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your GMC Yukon's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended GMC Yukon services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
