1998 GMC Savana 1500 Maintenance

Take care of your GMC Savana 1500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Savana 1500. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Savana 1500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 GMC Savana 1500 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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Savana 1500 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 GMC Savana 1500 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 GMC Savana 1500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Savana 1500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1998 GMC Savana 1500 be ready for a new battery? 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 Savana 1500 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 Savana 1500 stranded. Your GMC Savana 1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 GMC Savana 1500 engine.
