How often should I service my 1993 GMC Sonoma?

Here’s Why 1993 GMC Sonoma Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your GMC Sonoma, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, 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? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sonoma maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1993 GMC Sonoma!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, GMC themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sonoma's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1993 GMC Sonoma problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your GMC Sonoma Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1993 GMC Sonoma and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sonoma'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 1993 GMC Sonoma? In general, car batteries only last three to 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! 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 Sonoma won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1993 GMC Sonoma'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 1993 Sonoma. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1993 GMC Sonoma? We can help with that, too!

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

Without routine GMC Sonoma maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

  • 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? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older GMC Sonoma engines.
  • Can GMC dashboard warning lights wait? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your GMC Sonoma to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
