1984 Alfa Romeo Spider Maintenance

Take care of your Alfa Romeo Spider and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Spider could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Spider maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Alfa Romeo themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 prevent common 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Spider’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Alfa Romeo Spider battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 help your 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1984 Spider. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
