What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
Take care of your Oldsmobile Silhouette and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Silhouette has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Silhouette, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Oldsmobile themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Silhouette running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette problems in the future.
Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Silhouette's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Could your 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 Silhouette 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 Silhouette won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette engine. To learn how often Oldsmobile recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 Silhouette, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette.
