1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Cadillac Fleetwood and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood maintenance. Just follow your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Cadillac themselves. 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Fleetwood's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Fleetwood’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Cadillac Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 Fleetwood. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Cadillac Fleetwood 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. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Cadillac Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Cadillac Fleetwood maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Cadillac Fleetwood cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Cadillac Fleetwood radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
