Scheduled Maintenance for Your 1986 Isuzu Trooper

How often should I service my 1986 Isuzu Trooper?

Here’s Why 1986 Isuzu Trooper Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Isuzu Trooper to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Trooper could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Trooper maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Isuzu Trooper 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 Trooper's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1986 Isuzu Trooper problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Isuzu Trooper Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Isuzu Trooper and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Trooper. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Isuzu Trooper. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Isuzu Trooper 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 Trooper won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1986 Isuzu Trooper's engine run smoother. To learn how often Isuzu recommends you have the oil changed in your 1986 Trooper, 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1986 Isuzu Trooper? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Isuzu Trooper steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Isuzu Trooper steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Isuzu Trooper's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Isuzu Trooper services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). 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 Trooper engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Isuzu Trooper radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1986 Isuzu Trooper maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

Questions About 1986 Isuzu Trooper Maintenance

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

  • When should I have Isuzu Trooper alignment checked? You know your Isuzu Trooper 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 Trooper? 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 Trooper engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Isuzu? 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 Isuzu Trooper to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
