The 2011 GMC Yukon requires 5.7 liters (which equals 6.02 quarts) of synthetic SAE 5W-30 engine oil, known for protecting the engine and improving performance in various climates. GMC suggests changing this oil every 7,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. If you tow frequently or drive off-road, you might need to change it more often. Some recommended 5W-30 oils are Catrol Edge, Kendall, Pennzoil High Mileage, and Motorcraft. If the check engine oil light turns on, it may indicate low oil pressure. When checking your oil, it should have a honey-like color, not be too thick, and be free of visible debris. Always wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the engine before inspecting or replacing the oil.
The 2011 GMC Yukon needs 6.0 quarts (5.7 liters) of oil, with the preferred choice being SAE 5W-30.
A common type of motor oil used is 5w30, and it typically requires 6 quarts for a full oil change.
You'll need to use 5W-30 oil and 5 quarts of it, especially if your vehicle has a 6.2-liter engine - synthetic oil is the best choice for optimal performance.
