Tune Into Your Oldsmobile 88

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 1997 Oldsmobile 88 in tip-top shape. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your 88. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Oldsmobile's recommendations, you invest in your 88's long-term health and engine performance.

Oldsmobile 88 Engine Tune-Up Services

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Oldsmobile 88 engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your 88. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your 88. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your 88 can determine what kind of service it needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

Where to Get a Oldsmobile 88 Tune-Up

Questions About 1997 Oldsmobile 88 Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Oldsmobile 88 to drive with old spark plugs? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Oldsmobile 88? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my 88 engine? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.
  • I need a Oldsmobile 88 tune-up. Where can I get on? At your local Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our technicians know how to service, maintain, and repair Oldsmobile 88s.

The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.
