1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Maintenance Schedule

You want your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera to last as long as possible. 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? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Cutlass Ciera maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Cutlass Ciera's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Cutlass Ciera. 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 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. 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 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. 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 Ciera won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera engine.
