1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Oldsmobile Delta 88 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Delta 88 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Delta 88 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 Delta 88!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Delta 88's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 problems.

Bring your 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Delta 88'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 Delta 88. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Delta 88 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Oldsmobile Delta 88 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 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.
