1994 GMC Safari Maintenance

When it comes to your GMC Safari, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Safari. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Safari, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1994 GMC Safari!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Safari's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1994 GMC Safari problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1994 GMC Safari for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Safari's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 GMC Safari? 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. 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 Safari battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Safari) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Safari could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1994 GMC Safari's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1994 Safari. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1994 GMC Safari? We can help with that, too!
