1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Maintenance Schedule

You want your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Custom Cruiser 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Custom Cruiser maintenance. Just follow your 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Oldsmobile, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 Custom Cruiser running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Custom Cruiser. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Custom Cruiser may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Custom Cruiser) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser's engine run smoother. See Oldsmobile's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 Custom Cruiser in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1986 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser's steering system with regular maintenance.
