1996 GMC K2500 Suburban Maintenance Schedule

You want your GMC K2500 Suburban to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your K2500 Suburban. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine K2500 Suburban maintenance. Just follow your 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by GMC, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 K2500 Suburban's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 K2500 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.

Could your 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban be ready for a new battery? 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 GMC K2500 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your K2500 Suburban stranded. Your GMC K2500 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 prevent premature wear on your 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban engine.
