What to Know About 1986 Isuzu Impulse Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Isuzu Impulse, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Impulse 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 Impulse maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Isuzu Impulse maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Isuzu themselves. 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 Impulse running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1986 Isuzu Impulse problems.

Overview of Essential Isuzu Impulse Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1986 Isuzu Impulse to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Impulse. 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 1986 Isuzu Impulse 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Isuzu Impulse 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 Impulse stranded. Your Isuzu Impulse 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 prevent premature wear on your 1986 Isuzu Impulse engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1986 Impulse. 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 can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1986 Isuzu Impulse.

Maintaining your Isuzu Impulse steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Isuzu Impulse steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Isuzu Impulse's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Isuzu Impulse services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.

Take an active role in maintaining your 1986 Isuzu Impulse. Get answers to common Isuzu Impulse maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Isuzu Impulse alignment checked? 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 Isuzu Impulse? 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 Isuzu Impulse engines.
  •  Why are my Isuzu dashboard lights on? 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 Isuzu Impulse, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
