Your Guide to 2018 Fiat 500X Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Fiat 500X and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 500X has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 500X maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2018 Fiat 500X!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Fiat themselves. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 500X perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2018 Fiat 500X problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Fiat 500X

Bring your 2018 Fiat 500X to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 500X's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2018 Fiat 500X. 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 Fiat 500X battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 500X) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Fiat 500X won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2018 Fiat 500X engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2018 500X. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2018 Fiat 500X.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Fiat 500X can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Fiat 500X suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Fiat 500X's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Fiat 500X maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Fiat 500X engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
