How Often to Change 2000 GMC Jimmy Oil

Need more info about 2000 GMC Jimmy oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

GMC recommends having your 2000 GMC Jimmy’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Jimmy may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by GMC if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your GMC Jimmy. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My GMC Jimmy Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2000 GMC Jimmy motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. GMC has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2000 Jimmy.

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Jimmy’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Jimmy by considering your driving preferences, and mileage.
