Here’s Why 1985 Plymouth Caravelle Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Plymouth Caravelle and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Caravelle.

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Plymouth Caravelle!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Plymouth, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Caravelle's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Plymouth Caravelle problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Plymouth Caravelle

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Plymouth Caravelle and our technicians will jump right in 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 Caravelle’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1985 Plymouth Caravelle be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Caravelle may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Plymouth Caravelle 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 Plymouth Caravelle 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 1985 Plymouth Caravelle engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 Caravelle. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1985 Plymouth Caravelle.

Maintaining your Plymouth Caravelle steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Plymouth Caravelle steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Plymouth Caravelle's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Plymouth Caravelle maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Plymouth Caravelle’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Plymouth Caravelle radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.

1985 Plymouth Caravelle Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 1985 Plymouth Caravelle. Get answers to common Plymouth Caravelle maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Plymouth Caravelle? 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 Plymouth Caravelle? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Plymouth Caravelle engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Plymouth? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Plymouth Caravelle to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
