Your 1984 S15 Jimmy’s oil should be changed according to GMC’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your S15 Jimmy may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your GMC S15 Jimmy.

1984 GMC S15 Jimmy Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my GMC S15 Jimmy engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to GMC S15 Jimmy engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change GMC S15 Jimmy oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my GMC S15 Jimmy exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC S15 Jimmy oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your GMC S15 Jimmy oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What can cause the oil light on my GMC S15 Jimmy to illuminate? Your GMC S15 Jimmy oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my S15 Jimmy's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your GMC S15 Jimmy oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
