1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Oldsmobile Delta 88, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Delta 88. 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 Delta 88 maintenance. Just follow your 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Oldsmobile, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Delta 88 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 problems later.

Bring your 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Delta 88’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Oldsmobile Delta 88 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 Delta 88 stranded. Your Oldsmobile Delta 88 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
