1990 Plymouth Horizon Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Plymouth Horizon to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Horizon. 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 Horizon maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1990 Plymouth Horizon!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Horizon perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1990 Plymouth Horizon problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1990 Plymouth Horizon for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Horizon’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 Plymouth Horizon. In general, car batteries only last three to 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 Horizon 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 Horizon stranded. Your Plymouth Horizon could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1990 Plymouth Horizon running newer, longer. To learn how often Plymouth recommends you have the oil changed in your 1990 Horizon, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1990 Plymouth Horizon.

Maintaining your Plymouth Horizon 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.

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.
