1999 Pontiac Sunfire Maintenance

You want your Pontiac Sunfire to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Sunfire 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 Sunfire, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Pontiac themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sunfire perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1999 Pontiac Sunfire problems.

Bring your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire 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 Sunfire’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sunfire may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Pontiac Sunfire 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 Sunfire) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Pontiac Sunfire won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire's engine run smoother. See Pontiac's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1999 Sunfire in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire.
