1998 GMC K2500 Suburban Scheduled Maintenance

You want your GMC K2500 Suburban to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your K2500 Suburban could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your K2500 Suburban, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban maintenance schedule!

GMC knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your K2500 Suburban running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban. 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 GMC K2500 Suburban engine.
