How often should I service my 1987 Cadillac DeVille?

Here’s Why 1987 Cadillac DeVille Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Cadillac DeVille to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your DeVille could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine DeVille maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Cadillac DeVille!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 DeVille's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Cadillac DeVille problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Cadillac DeVille Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1987 Cadillac DeVille to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your DeVille’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Cadillac DeVille. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Cadillac DeVille battery. 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 DeVille) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac DeVille won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1987 Cadillac DeVille engine. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 DeVille 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1987 Cadillac DeVille.

Routine upkeep for your Cadillac DeVille suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Cadillac DeVille suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Cadillac DeVille's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Cadillac DeVille maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Cadillac DeVille cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Cadillac DeVille? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 1987 Cadillac DeVille maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

  • When should I have Cadillac DeVille alignment checked? You know your Cadillac DeVille better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
