1990 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 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Colt maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1990 Plymouth Colt!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Plymouth, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Colt perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1990 Plymouth Colt problems.

Bring your 1990 Plymouth Colt to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Colt. 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 1990 Plymouth Colt. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Colt may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Plymouth Colt 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! 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 Colt won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1990 Plymouth Colt running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1990 Colt. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1990 Plymouth Colt? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Plymouth Colt can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). 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, perform Plymouth Colt suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Plymouth Colt's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Plymouth Colt maintenance, 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 Colt’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Plymouth Colt? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1990 Plymouth Colt maintenance.
