1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Cutlass Calais has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Cutlass Calais 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 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Oldsmobile, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Cutlass Calais perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cutlass Calais’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais be ready for a new battery? 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 Cutlass Calais 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 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 help your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais's engine run smoother. To learn how often Oldsmobile recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 Cutlass Calais, check out the information table at the beginning 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais.
