1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Maintenance Schedule

You want your Alfa Romeo Spider to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Spider. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Spider, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider!

Alfa Romeo knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Spider's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider problems in the future.

Bring your 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. 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 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider be ready for a new battery? 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). 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Spider) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Alfa Romeo Spider won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider's engine run smoother. To learn how often Alfa Romeo recommends you have the oil changed in your 1987 Spider, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Alfa Romeo Spider's steering system require regular maintenance.
