1996 Chevrolet Camaro Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Chevrolet Camaro and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Camaro. 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 Camaro, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Camaro perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1996 Chevrolet Camaro problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Camaro. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Camaro may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Camaro 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Camaro stranded. Your Chevrolet Camaro could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 Camaro. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro? We can help with that, too!

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Chevrolet Camaro 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 Chevrolet Camaro's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Camaro maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
