1989 Subaru GL-10 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Subaru GL-10, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your GL-10 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 GL-10, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Subaru GL-10!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Subaru, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 GL-10 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Subaru GL-10 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Subaru GL-10 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GL-10’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1989 Subaru GL-10 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Subaru GL-10 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GL-10 stranded. Your Subaru GL-10 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1989 Subaru GL-10 engine. To learn how often Subaru recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 GL-10, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1989 Subaru GL-10.
