When it comes to your Plymouth Gran Fury, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Gran Fury could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when?

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; 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 Gran Fury's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Plymouth Gran Fury Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Gran Fury's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Gran Fury 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. 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 Gran Fury 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 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury engine.
