How often should I service my 1989 Chevrolet R3500?
Take care of your Chevrolet R3500 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your R3500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 R3500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Chevrolet R3500!
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 R3500's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1989 Chevrolet R3500 problems.
Bring your 1989 Chevrolet R3500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your R3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Could your 1989 Chevrolet R3500 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 R3500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet R3500 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your R3500 stranded. Your Chevrolet R3500 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 1989 Chevrolet R3500 running newer, longer. To learn how often Chevrolet recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 R3500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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 1989 Chevrolet R3500.
Periodic service to the steering system in your Chevrolet R3500 can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Chevrolet R3500 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Chevrolet R3500's steering system require regular maintenance.
If you fall behind on routine Chevrolet R3500 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Chevrolet R3500 cooling, heating, and climate control system.
