1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet Lumina APV to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Lumina APV has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Lumina APV maintenance. Just follow your 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV maintenance schedule!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Lumina APV perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Lumina APV. 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.

Could your 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Lumina APV 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 Lumina APV 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. 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 Lumina APV 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 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV 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 Lumina APV.
