GMC recommends having your 1998 GMC Yukon’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Yukon may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your GMC Yukon. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
