AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What oil does a 2022 GMC Yukon 3.0L Duramax Diesel take?<\/h2>\n

The 2022 GMC Yukon with the 3.0L 6-cylinder LM2 T Diesel Turbo engine requires a 0W-20<\/strong> viscosity oil. The total oil capacity is 7 quarts<\/strong> when performing an oil change with a filter replacement. AMSOIL recommends using AMSOIL 0W-20 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil<\/a> (Code: DP020QT-EA<\/a>) for this application.<\/p>\n
