1983 Alfa Romeo Spider Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Alfa Romeo Spider to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Spider could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Spider maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Alfa Romeo themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Spider perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Spider's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Spider may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Alfa Romeo Spider battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Spider stranded. Your Alfa Romeo Spider won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1983 Spider. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider.
