The 2001 GMC Yukon requires SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil for optimal performance in all weather conditions. The Yukon can hold up to 6 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be tightened to 18 ft/lbs of torque. Using oil is crucial for maintaining a clean and long-lasting engine. It is recommended to change the oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first, and replace the oil filter at the same time. An oil change typically costs between $30 to $40 for labor. Changing the oil is a simple task that can be completed in under 15 minutes.
The 2001 GMC Yukon with the 4.8L V8 engine needs 6 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil, while the version equipped with the 5.3L V8 engine also requires 6 quarts of the same oil type.
