1987 Chevrolet R20 Maintenance

When it comes to your Chevrolet R20, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your R20 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your R20, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Chevrolet R20!

Chevrolet knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your R20 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Chevrolet R20 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Chevrolet R20 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 R20’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1987 Chevrolet R20 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 R20 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 R20 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your R20 stranded. Your Chevrolet R20 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Chevrolet R20 running newer, longer. See Chevrolet's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 R20 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1987 Chevrolet R20.

Routine upkeep for your Chevrolet R20 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. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Chevrolet R20 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chevrolet R20's steering system with regular maintenance.
