Your Guide to 1998 Chevrolet K3500 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Chevrolet K3500 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 K3500. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get K3500 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1998 Chevrolet K3500 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your K3500 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1998 Chevrolet K3500 problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Chevrolet K3500 Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1998 Chevrolet K3500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your K3500. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Chevrolet K3500. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your K3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 K3500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Chevrolet K3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Chevrolet K3500 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 1998 K3500. 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 K3500? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet K3500 suspension and steering 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. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chevrolet K3500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet K3500's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Chevrolet K3500 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.
