1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Cavalier to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Cavalier. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Cavalier, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Chevrolet, your vehicle manufacturer. 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, 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 Cavalier perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier problems.

Bring your 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Chevrolet Cavalier battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Cavalier) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Cavalier won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 Cavalier. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Chevrolet Cavalier steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Cavalier steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet Cavalier's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Chevrolet Cavalier 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet Cavalier cooling, heating, and climate control system.
