1996 Buick LeSabre Maintenance

Take care of your Buick LeSabre and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your LeSabre could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get LeSabre 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 1996 Buick LeSabre!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Buick, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your LeSabre's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Buick LeSabre problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Buick LeSabre and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your LeSabre’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 Buick LeSabre? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick LeSabre 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 LeSabre) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Buick LeSabre won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1996 Buick LeSabre engine. See Buick's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 LeSabre in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Buick LeSabre.
