Engine Oil - GMC 2007 Yukon XL Owner's Manual

Engine Oil

If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears on
the instrument cluster, it means you need to check
your engine oil level right away.
For more information, see CHECK OIL LEVEL
under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 254.
You should check your engine oil level regularly;
this is an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check your engine oil every
time you get fuel. In order to get an accurate
reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must
be on level ground.

The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 436
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil several
minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you
do not do this, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper
towel or cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.
