1986 Pontiac Fiero Maintenance

You want your Pontiac Fiero to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Fiero. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Fiero maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1986 Pontiac Fiero!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Pontiac 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Fiero's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Pontiac Fiero problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Pontiac Fiero for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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 Fiero's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1986 Pontiac Fiero 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 Fiero may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Pontiac Fiero 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 Pontiac Fiero 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 1986 Pontiac Fiero engine. To learn how often Pontiac recommends you have the oil changed in your 1986 Fiero, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
