Oldsmobile knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 88 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1992 Oldsmobile 88 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1992 Oldsmobile 88 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 88’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 88) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Oldsmobile 88 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
