1986 Oldsmobile Toronado Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Oldsmobile Toronado, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Toronado 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 Toronado, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Oldsmobile Toronado!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Oldsmobile themselves. 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Toronado's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1986 Oldsmobile Toronado problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Oldsmobile Toronado for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Toronado’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1986 Oldsmobile Toronado. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Toronado may need a replacement battery sooner.

Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Toronado) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Oldsmobile Toronado could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
