1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Maintenance

You want your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Cutlass Ciera 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Cutlass Ciera, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera!

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. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. 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 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Cutlass Ciera's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera 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 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.
