2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.2L Engine Overview
The 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Engine 6.2L is a naturally aspirated V8 from GM's Gen IV small-block engine family. The L94 was used in the Yukon and Yukon XL during this generation and is designed for large SUVs that require strong low-end torque as well as highway performance.

Always confirm exactly what is included before purchasing.

FAQ
What engine does the 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500 6.2L use?
The application covered on this page uses the L94 6.2L V8, identified by F at the 8th VIN position.
What Is The L94 6.2L Engine?
The L94 is a 6.2-liter V8 engine used in several GM full-size SUVs during the late 2000s and early 2010s. In the 2013 GMC Yukon XL 1500, it is identified by F as the 8th VIN character.
The engine belongs to GM’s Gen IV small-block family and uses an aluminum block and aluminum cylinder heads. It also incorporates Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Active Fuel Management (AFM).
AFM allows the engine to deactivate cylinders under certain light-load driving conditions. The system is designed to reduce fuel consumption when full V8 power is not required.
The L94 is also a flex-fuel engine, meaning the appropriate vehicle configuration can operate on gasoline or E85. This is one of the reasons it is important to match the correct engine rather than selecting an engine solely because it is a GM 6.2L V8.
