Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 GMC Yukon? 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.

GMC recommends changing your 2012 Yukon’s oil 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 engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

2012 GMC Yukon Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my GMC Yukon motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Yukon’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change GMC Yukon oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC Yukon oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for GMC Yukon 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 does it mean if my GMC Yukon oil light comes on? Your GMC Yukon oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my GMC Yukon? Every time you change the oil in your GMC Yukon, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
