Maintenance for Your 1999 Chevrolet Malibu

What is the maintenance schedule for the 1999 Chevrolet Malibu?

What to Know About 1999 Chevrolet Malibu Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Chevrolet Malibu to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Malibu could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Malibu, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1999 Chevrolet Malibu 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, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Malibu running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Chevrolet Malibu problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Chevrolet Malibu

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Chevrolet Malibu and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Malibu. 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 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet Malibu battery. 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 Malibu) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chevrolet Malibu 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 prevent premature wear on your 1999 Chevrolet Malibu engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 Malibu. 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Chevrolet Malibu.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet Malibu can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Chevrolet Malibu 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet Malibu's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet Malibu maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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 Malibu cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Chevrolet Malibu radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1999 Chevrolet Malibu maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Chevrolet Malibu? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Chevrolet Malibu to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Chevrolet Malibu engines.
  •  Why are my Chevrolet dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Chevrolet Malibu in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
