1989 Dodge Colt Maintenance Schedule

You want your Dodge Colt to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Colt has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Colt maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1989 Dodge Colt maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Colt perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Dodge Colt problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Dodge Colt for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Colt. 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 1989 Dodge Colt. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Colt may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Colt battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Dodge Colt won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1989 Dodge Colt engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 Colt in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1989 Dodge Colt.
