What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1991 GMC Sonoma?

Your Guide to 1991 GMC Sonoma Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your GMC Sonoma, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Sonoma 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 Sonoma, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1991 GMC Sonoma maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Sonoma running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 GMC Sonoma problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your GMC Sonoma

Bring your 1991 GMC Sonoma to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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 Sonoma. 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.

Could your 1991 GMC Sonoma be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sonoma may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your GMC Sonoma 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 Sonoma) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your GMC Sonoma won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1991 GMC Sonoma running newer, longer. To learn how often GMC recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 Sonoma, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1991 GMC Sonoma.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my GMC Sonoma? 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. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my GMC Sonoma? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your GMC Sonoma? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my GMC? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your GMC Sonoma, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
