The 2006 GMC Yukon requires 5 liters (5.28 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil, a versatile fluid that boosts performance, prevents corrosion, and reduces friction by lubricating all engine components. If you're planning to do the oil change yourself, some popular choices are LiquiMoly Longlife III, Valvoline High Mileage, Pennzoil Platinum, and Castrol Edge. Regularly check the oil to ensure it's not old, thick, or contaminated. Wait at least five minutes after turning off the engine before checking. GMC recommends changing the oil every 7,000 miles in the 2006 Yukon, but more frequent changes may be necessary based on your driving habits. If you opt for professional service, expect to pay between $110 and $130, including labor costs.
