Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Savana 2500 Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 GMC Savana 2500 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Savana 2500'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 1997 GMC Savana 2500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your GMC Savana 2500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your GMC Savana 2500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1997 GMC Savana 2500's engine run smoother. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 Savana 2500, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 GMC Savana 2500.

Routine upkeep for your GMC Savana 2500 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

Components within your GMC Savana 2500's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended GMC Savana 2500 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire GMC Savana 2500 cooling, heating, and climate control system.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my GMC Savana 2500? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older GMC Savana 2500 engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my GMC? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason!
