1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet Cavalier 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 Cavalier. 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 Cavalier, 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 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chevrolet themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Cavalier running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier 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 Cavalier'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 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier? 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Chevrolet Cavalier battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Cavalier) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Cavalier won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1989 Cavalier. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier? We can help with that, too!

Components within your Chevrolet Cavalier's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet Cavalier services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
