1989 Suzuki Sidekick Maintenance

You want your Suzuki Sidekick to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sidekick. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sidekick maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1989 Suzuki Sidekick!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Suzuki themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sidekick's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Suzuki Sidekick problems in the future.

Bring your 1989 Suzuki Sidekick 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sidekick'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 1989 Suzuki Sidekick? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Suzuki Sidekick battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sidekick stranded. Your Suzuki Sidekick 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 1989 Suzuki Sidekick's engine run smoother.

Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
