1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette Maintenance Schedule

You want your Oldsmobile Silhouette to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Silhouette could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Silhouette maintenance. Just follow your 1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette maintenance schedule!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Silhouette running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette problems later.

Bring your 1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 Silhouette’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Silhouette may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Oldsmobile Silhouette 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 Silhouette stranded. Your Oldsmobile Silhouette could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
