1988 Plymouth Colt Maintenance Schedule

You want your Plymouth Colt to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Colt has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Colt maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1988 Plymouth Colt maintenance schedule!

Plymouth knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Colt perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1988 Plymouth Colt problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Plymouth Colt for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 Colt’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1988 Plymouth Colt. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Plymouth Colt 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 Colt stranded. Your Plymouth Colt won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

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 1988 Plymouth Colt engine. To learn how often Plymouth recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 Colt, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1988 Plymouth Colt.

Routine upkeep for your Plymouth Colt suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).
