1996 Chevrolet S10 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Chevrolet S10 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your S10 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S10, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1996 Chevrolet S10!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S10 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1996 Chevrolet S10 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Chevrolet S10 and our technicians will jump right in with 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 S10’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1996 Chevrolet S10 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your S10 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chevrolet S10 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 S10 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1996 Chevrolet S10's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1996 S10. 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 1996 Chevrolet S10.

Maintaining your Chevrolet S10 steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Chevrolet S10's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Chevrolet S10 services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
