Hello, I have a 2007 GMC Yukon with around 47K miles.All service has been done at a GMC dealer on schedule and a oil change was done about 1500 miles ago. My question is that this week the oil low/check oil level indicator is coming on sometimes when you start the vehicle.I have checked the oil level and it is full. Please advise on your thoughts.

This is best answered by the service schedule of the car. Any car of the same make around the year of manufacture will have the same schedule. IF it is miles you are referring to then items like cam belt change, auto oil change, brake fluid change, coolant change brake rotor check, cv joints would most likely be on the schedule as 60.000 miles is a big service.

Hello, 1 quart in three thousand miles, great, awesome, wonderful don't worry about it. As long as you know it. This is normal for a lot of engines. For many Chrysler Motor Co. there engine would use a quart of oil in the first 500 miles and after that, none. Oil change, another quart in 500 miles.
I would drive that Chevy around the world. I wish you many hundreds of thousands of miles. GB..stewbison

not unless you travel in extremely dusty/sandy roads. Most ppl dont change their fluids for the life of their suvs. If you drove thru deep water often i would also change it but the front and rears are sealed and synthetic fluids is man made and takes an extremely long time to break down.

sludge inside the engine may be the problem,perform an engine flush.

service engine soon is a driver/owner reminder, check your engine oil or rest it after changing to 100%, if you have the owners guide book, read it and follow the maintenance procedure to avoid severe damage to your car

Sounds funny, I would take it to an indepened repair shop and have them check it out, we have many customer's with Yukon and have not heard of that, I have a GMC with over 315,000 miles and between oil changes, maybe a qts low, have it check else where.

My first question is, is the vehicle still under factory warranty at 35,000 miles? If it is have it checked out by the dealer. Aside from that there are situations of oil burn that fall into limits by the manufacturer, however, 1 qt every 3000 miles on a vehicle that new seems excessive. Your dealer should be able to provide you with the manufacturers limits as it's stated in the vehicles service manual on your vehicle. But make sure they give you a copy of the page not just hear it by word of mouth. If there are no external oil leaks on your engine then it has to be burning it internally which would mean the only way to find any worn parts would be tear down of the engine to identify them. There are a few things you can try before going to that extreme especially if your truck is running fine. Try a different grade of oil or switch to synthetic oil. Make sure you change all filters, pcv valve and maintenance items as prescribed in your owners manual at the time recommended depending upon your driving habits. Keep it well tuned.
If your dealer said this was a problem they've had similar complaints on there's a possibility there's a TSB (technical service bulletine) out on the vehicle for the problem. Which means the manufacturer is aware of the problem and has given instructions for a procedure to correct it in most cases. Hope that helps.

if you went to a dealer then that sounds about right. they tend to be expensive. you got to remember though that most the time 90k mile maintenence includes radiator flush, oil change, tranny oil change, emissions checks, possibly water pump check. cooling system pressure check. abs checks, brake checks, steering and suspension checks. there is alot of maintenance that can be done. you need a list of the stuff they are trying to charge you. honestly if they do all the work required then 3300 my not be to bad

coolant flush and fill.. differential oil changed out ( assuming you have done trans service already also ) .. driveline (u-joints) and steering linkage lubed , fuel filter(s)..and all belts /hoses inspected ... have fun :)
