1996 Buick Roadmaster Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Buick Roadmaster and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Roadmaster. 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 Roadmaster maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Buick Roadmaster!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Buick 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 Roadmaster perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1996 Buick Roadmaster problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Buick Roadmaster 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 Roadmaster’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1996 Buick Roadmaster be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Buick Roadmaster battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Roadmaster stranded. Your Buick Roadmaster 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 1996 Buick Roadmaster's engine run smoother. See Buick's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 Roadmaster in the chart at the top 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.
