1998 Chevrolet C1500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet C1500 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your C1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your C1500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Chevrolet C1500!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your C1500 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1998 Chevrolet C1500 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Chevrolet C1500 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your C1500'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 1998 Chevrolet C1500? 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 C1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet C1500 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! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your C1500 stranded. Your Chevrolet C1500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
