Your Guide to 1993 Plymouth Colt Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Plymouth Colt to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Colt could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Colt, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1993 Plymouth Colt!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Plymouth themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Colt perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1993 Plymouth Colt problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Plymouth Colt Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1993 Plymouth Colt 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. 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.

Could your 1993 Plymouth Colt be ready for a new battery? 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Plymouth Colt battery. 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 Colt) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Plymouth Colt could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

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 1993 Plymouth Colt engine. See Plymouth's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1993 Colt in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1993 Plymouth Colt.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Plymouth Colt can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Plymouth Colt steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Plymouth Colt's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Plymouth Colt services, 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Plymouth Colt cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Plymouth Colt radiator? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 1993 Plymouth Colt maintenance.

  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Plymouth Colt? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.
