What to Know About 1999 Oldsmobile Alero Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Oldsmobile Alero to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Alero could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Alero maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1999 Oldsmobile Alero!

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. 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Alero's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1999 Oldsmobile Alero problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Oldsmobile Alero Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Oldsmobile Alero for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Alero. 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 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. 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 Oldsmobile Alero battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Alero stranded. Your Oldsmobile Alero won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1999 Oldsmobile Alero engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 Alero. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1999 Oldsmobile Alero.

  • When should I have Oldsmobile Alero alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Oldsmobile Alero? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Oldsmobile Alero engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Oldsmobile? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Oldsmobile Alero, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
