1997 Oldsmobile LSS Maintenance

When it comes to your Oldsmobile LSS, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your LSS has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your LSS, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Oldsmobile LSS!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Oldsmobile, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your LSS running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1997 Oldsmobile LSS problems.

Bring your 1997 Oldsmobile LSS to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your LSS'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 1997 Oldsmobile LSS. In general, car batteries only last three to 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 LSS battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty LSS) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Oldsmobile LSS won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1997 Oldsmobile LSS's engine run smoother. See Oldsmobile's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 LSS in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Oldsmobile LSS.
