1987 Porsche 944 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Porsche 944, 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 944 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 944, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1987 Porsche 944 maintenance schedule!

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 944 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Porsche 944 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Porsche 944 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 944's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Porsche 944? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 944 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 Porsche 944 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 944) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Porsche 944 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 prevent premature wear on your 1987 Porsche 944 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 944. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1987 Porsche 944.
