GMC recommends changing your 1989 S15 Jimmy’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

1989 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 runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your S15 Jimmy’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my GMC S15 Jimmy oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my GMC S15 Jimmy spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers GMC S15 Jimmy oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our GMC S15 Jimmy oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my GMC S15 Jimmy oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your GMC S15 Jimmy could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my S15 Jimmy's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your GMC S15 Jimmy, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
