1989 GMC G3500 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your GMC G3500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your G3500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your G3500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 GMC G3500!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your G3500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 GMC G3500 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 GMC G3500 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your G3500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 GMC G3500. In general, car batteries only last 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC G3500 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty G3500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC G3500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1989 GMC G3500's engine run smoother.

Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle.

We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 GMC G3500.
