How often should I service my 1988 Cadillac Cimarron?

Here’s Why 1988 Cadillac Cimarron Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Cadillac Cimarron to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Cimarron. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Cimarron maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, 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, 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Cimarron's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Cadillac Cimarron problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Cadillac Cimarron Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Cimarron. 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 1988 Cadillac Cimarron. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Cimarron may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac Cimarron battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Cadillac Cimarron 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 prevent premature wear on your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron engine. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 Cimarron 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron.

Routine upkeep for your Cadillac Cimarron suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Cadillac Cimarron suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Cadillac Cimarron's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Cadillac Cimarron maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
