Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Salon stranded. Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon's engine run smoother.
