What is the maintenance schedule for the 1985 Buick Regal?

Your Guide to 1985 Buick Regal Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Buick Regal, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Regal could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Regal maintenance. Just follow your 1985 Buick Regal maintenance schedule!

Buick 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Regal perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Buick Regal problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Buick Regal

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Buick Regal and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Regal. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Buick Regal. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Regal may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Buick Regal 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 Regal stranded. Your Buick Regal could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Buick Regal engine. To learn how often Buick recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 Regal, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1985 Buick Regal.

Maintaining your Buick Regal steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Buick Regal's steering and suspension system.
