1998 GMC C2500 Suburban Maintenance

Take care of your GMC C2500 Suburban and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your C2500 Suburban could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get C2500 Suburban maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 GMC C2500 Suburban!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, 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; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your C2500 Suburban running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1998 GMC C2500 Suburban problems.

Bring your 1998 GMC C2500 Suburban 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your C2500 Suburban. 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 1998 GMC C2500 Suburban. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your GMC C2500 Suburban battery. 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 GMC C2500 Suburban won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 GMC C2500 Suburban running newer, longer. See GMC's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1998 C2500 Suburban in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
