When it comes to your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Cutlass Supreme 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 Supreme 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 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Oldsmobile themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Cutlass Supreme running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Cutlass Supreme’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 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 Supreme may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Supreme battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Supreme won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
