What to Know About 1986 Plymouth Conquest Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Plymouth Conquest to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Conquest. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Conquest, 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 1986 Plymouth Conquest!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Plymouth themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Conquest's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1986 Plymouth Conquest problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Plymouth Conquest

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1986 Plymouth Conquest 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 Conquest. 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 1986 Plymouth Conquest. 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 Conquest may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Plymouth Conquest 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 Conquest) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Plymouth Conquest 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 1986 Plymouth Conquest running newer, longer. To learn how often Plymouth recommends you have the oil changed in your 1986 Conquest, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1986 Plymouth Conquest? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Plymouth Conquest steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Plymouth Conquest steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Plymouth Conquest's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Plymouth Conquest services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

1986 Plymouth Conquest Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 1986 Plymouth Conquest. Get answers to common Plymouth Conquest maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Plymouth Conquest? You know your Plymouth Conquest better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Plymouth Conquest? 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 Conquest engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Plymouth? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Plymouth Conquest in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
