What to Know About 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Oldsmobile Toronado, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Toronado could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Toronado maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Toronado running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Oldsmobile Toronado Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Toronado. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Oldsmobile Toronado battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Toronado stranded. Your Oldsmobile Toronado could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1989 Oldsmobile Toronado's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1989 Toronado. 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.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Oldsmobile Toronado? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Oldsmobile Toronado? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.
