1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Cadillac Fleetwood and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Fleetwood has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Fleetwood, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Cadillac, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Fleetwood running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood problems in the future.

Bring your 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood. In general, car batteries only last 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. 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 Fleetwood 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 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood's engine run smoother. See Cadillac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 Fleetwood 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Cadillac Fleetwood steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! 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.
