1989 Oldsmobile 98 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Oldsmobile 98 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 98 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 98, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1989 Oldsmobile 98 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Oldsmobile themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 98 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Oldsmobile 98 problems later.

Bring your 1989 Oldsmobile 98 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 98's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Oldsmobile 98. 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. 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 Oldsmobile 98 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 98 stranded. Your Oldsmobile 98 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 1989 Oldsmobile 98 engine. To learn how often Oldsmobile recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 98, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
