Steps
Park on level ground and chock the wheels. Warm the engine for a couple of minutes so the oil flows, then switch it off. Lift the front and support it on jack stands or ramps before you go under.
Open the owner's manual and confirm the oil specification and the fill capacity for your exact engine. Buy a filter that matches the part number listed for the 2022 Yukon.
Place the drain pan under the oil pan and loosen the drain plug with a socket. Take the plug out by hand and let the old oil drain fully.
Slide the pan under the filter housing and spin the old filter off with an oil filter wrench. Wipe the mounting face clean and check that the old gasket came away with the filter.
Wipe a little fresh oil around the new filter's rubber gasket, then screw it on by hand until it touches the housing. Give it another three-quarter turn. Do not use the wrench to tighten it.
Refit the drain plug with a new washer and tighten it to the torque figure in the manual. Do not guess by feel, since an over-tightened plug can strip the pan.
Pour in roughly the listed capacity through a funnel, then wait a minute and check the dipstick. Add oil in small amounts until the level sits at the top mark.
Start the engine and let it idle for about 30 seconds while you watch under the car for leaks. Shut it off, wait a few minutes and recheck the level.
Switch the ignition on without starting the engine. Use the right-hand steering wheel buttons to scroll the driver display to Oil Life, then press and hold the checkmark button until the reading resets to 100 percent.
Pour the used oil into a sealed container and take it to a recycling centre or auto parts store. Do not put it in household rubbish or down a drain.
Tips and common mistakes
Warm oil drains faster and carries more dirt out, but the pan and plug can be hot, so wear gloves.
A double-gasket mistake is common, so always check the old filter still has its rubber ring before fitting the new one.
Reset the oil life monitor right after the change, or the dash warning will stay on even with fresh oil.
Recheck the dipstick after the first drive, since the filter soaks up some oil and the level can drop slightly.
Questions
How much oil does a 2022 GMC Yukon take?
It depends on which engine you have, so check the capacity table in your owner's manual. Fill to the dipstick mark rather than trusting a single number.
What oil should I use?
Use the viscosity and specification printed in your owner's manual and on the oil filler cap. GM engines typically call for a dexos-rated oil.
How do I reset the oil life monitor?
Scroll the driver information display to Oil Life with the steering wheel buttons, then press and hold the checkmark button until it reads 100 percent.
