1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Maintenance

Take care of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Cutlass Ciera. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Cutlass Ciera, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera!

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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Cutlass Ciera perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cutlass Ciera’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Cutlass Ciera may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera 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 Cutlass Ciera stranded. Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
