1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Cadillac Fleetwood, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Fleetwood. 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 Fleetwood maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood!

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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood problems.

Bring your 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood'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 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood? 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 Fleetwood may need a replacement battery sooner. 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! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Fleetwood) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Cadillac Fleetwood 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 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood engine. To learn how often Cadillac recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 Fleetwood, check out the information table at the beginning 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 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Maintaining your Cadillac Fleetwood steering and suspension 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. 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. Components within your Cadillac Fleetwood's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Cadillac Fleetwood maintenance, 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.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Cadillac Fleetwood engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
