1998 Chevrolet Lumina Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Lumina to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Lumina has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Lumina's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Chevrolet Lumina problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Chevrolet Lumina and our technicians will jump right in 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Lumina’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1998 Chevrolet Lumina? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Lumina) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Lumina won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
