Overview of Essential Oldsmobile 98 Maintenance Needs

Could your 1991 Oldsmobile 98 be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 98 stranded. Your Oldsmobile 98 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
