1988 Cadillac DeVille Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Cadillac DeVille, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your DeVille has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get DeVille maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1988 Cadillac DeVille maintenance schedule!

Cadillac 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. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your DeVille perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Cadillac DeVille problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Cadillac DeVille to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your DeVille's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Cadillac DeVille? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your DeVille may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Cadillac DeVille 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! 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 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 1988 Cadillac DeVille engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1988 DeVille. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 DeVille.
