1989 GMC C1500 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your GMC C1500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your C1500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 C1500 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 GMC C1500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your C1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 GMC C1500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 GMC C1500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your C1500. 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 GMC C1500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your C1500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC C1500 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty C1500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC C1500 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 GMC C1500 running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 C1500 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. 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 1989 GMC C1500.
