Can I prevent engine sludge in my GMC?

When the motor oil in your GMC Safari breaks down over time, it can cause debris and thick sludge to build up in your engine. Yuck! So, how can you prevent this? With regular oil changes! Be sure to check which oils are approved by GMC for your car.

Is GMC's recommended maintenance really that important?

Yes! GMC has written a maintenance schedule for your Safari. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my GMC to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty GMC Safari, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

GMC Safari Radiator Repair Service

What does a radiator do, anyway? It ensures that your engine stays within an optimal temperature range while it’s running. When the radiator isn't working properly, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. Keeping the radiator in working order is vital to long-term engine performance. To properly maintain your radiator, GMC recommends replacing coolant antifreeze in your 1989 GMC Safari at specific intervals. You might need radiator repair if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.
