Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Oldsmobile Silhouette Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Silhouette’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette. 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 Silhouette battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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.

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 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette engine. See Oldsmobile's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2000 Silhouette in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette? We can help with that, too!

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Oldsmobile Silhouette steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Oldsmobile Silhouette's steering and suspension system.
