1988 Porsche 924 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Porsche 924, 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 924 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 924, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Porsche 924!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Porsche 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 924 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Porsche 924 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1988 Porsche 924 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 924’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Porsche 924 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 924 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Porsche 924 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 924) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Porsche 924 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 help your 1988 Porsche 924's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1988 924. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1988 Porsche 924.

Maintaining your Porsche 924 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.
