Overview of Essential Porsche 928 Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Porsche 928 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 928's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Porsche 928. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 928 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Porsche 928 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 928) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Porsche 928 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 help your 1987 Porsche 928's engine run smoother. See Porsche's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 928 in the chart at the top of this page.

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Porsche 928 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Porsche 928's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Porsche 928 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Porsche 928 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Porsche 928 radiator? We got it.
