Can I change my GMC Yukon 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

How Often to Get 2010 GMC Yukon Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your GMC Yukon’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

GMC recommends having your 2010 GMC Yukon’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Yukon may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by GMC if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your GMC Yukon. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
