Wilcoxson GMC – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for GMC Yukon
Keeping a GMC Yukon running strong is all about a smart plan, attention to detail, and certified hands under the hood. At Wilcoxson GMC, our Certified Service team follows factory procedures, uses GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco components, and documents every visit so owners have a clear, confidence-building record for the road ahead. As your trusted team serving in Pueblo, CO, La Junta, and Canon City, we make it easy to stay on top of the essentials with online scheduling, same-day maintenance for many services, and transparent recommendations based on how, where, and how far you drive. Yukon models feature an Oil Life Monitoring System that adapts to conditions such as towing, stop-and-go traffic, temperature swings, and dusty routes, so interval timing can vary by model year and usage — that is why a personalized plan matters. To help you get started, use the general guidelines below as a quick-reference framework for most model years, then tailor each step with your Owner’s Manual and our advisors’ input. Our approach pairs a thorough Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection with proactive updates, so critical systems like 4WD, brakes, and cooling stay ready for Colorado adventures. We can also coordinate shuttle rides, loaner availability when eligible, and text updates from check-in to pickup.
- Every visit: Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection; check for open recalls and software updates; inspect lights, wipers, and fluid levels.
- Every 7,500 miles or 12 months: Change engine oil and filter with GM-approved dexos; rotate tires; inspect brakes; adjust tire pressures; reset the Oil Life Monitoring System.
- Every 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter; inspect engine air filter; inspect brake linings and hoses.
- Every 30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter; clean or service throttle body and induction if needed; inspect drive belt.
- Every 45,000 miles or sooner for heavy towing/4WD: Service transfer case and axle fluids; exchange brake fluid; inspect shocks and struts.
- Every 60,000 miles: Inspect transmission fluid condition and perform service if indicated by usage or the Owner’s Manual; inspect cooling system hoses and clamps.
- Every 5 years or 150,000 miles: Replace engine coolant (Dex-Cool) and test for leaks; replace key coolant hoses as needed.
- Every 100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs on equipped engines; inspect ignition components; evaluate motor mounts.
- Every 6-12 months: Test battery and charging system; replace wiper blades; check wheel alignment and balance, especially after pothole impacts.
- Before towing season: Inspect tires for tread depth, age, and load rating; verify trailer brake controller function and hitch torque; confirm transmission cooling capacity for planned loads.
Every Yukon benefits from consistent checks on fluids, tires, and braking, yet no two driving profiles are identical. High-altitude routes, trailer duty, and remote dirt roads often qualify as Severe Service, which shortens certain intervals. That is why our advisors review mileage, time-in-service, and usage at each visit and adjust recommendations accordingly. Advanced features such as Forward Collision Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist depend on precisely aligned cameras and sensors — after windshield or bumper work, we can verify calibration. For 4WD models, transfer case and axle service is essential for smooth engagement on snow and gravel. We also track software updates and open recalls during the Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection and record everything for warranty support and resale value.
