What to Know About 1998 Isuzu Rodeo Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Isuzu Rodeo and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Rodeo. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Rodeo, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Isuzu, your vehicle manufacturer.

Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Rodeo running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Isuzu Rodeo problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Isuzu Rodeo Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Rodeo's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Rodeo may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Isuzu Rodeo 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 Isuzu Rodeo won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo engine. See Isuzu's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1998 Rodeo in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1998 Isuzu Rodeo.

Routine upkeep for your Isuzu Rodeo 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. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Isuzu Rodeo steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Isuzu Rodeo's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Isuzu Rodeo maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Isuzu Rodeo engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Isuzu Rodeo? You know your Isuzu Rodeo better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Isuzu Rodeo? 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 Rodeo engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Isuzu? 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 Rodeo, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
