Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Suzuki XL-7 Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Suzuki XL-7 and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your XL-7’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2008 Suzuki XL-7. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your XL-7 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 Suzuki XL-7 battery. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Suzuki XL-7 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 prevent premature wear on your 2008 Suzuki XL-7 engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2008 XL-7. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2008 Suzuki XL-7.

Routine upkeep for your Suzuki XL-7 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.

If you skip recommended Suzuki XL-7 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Suzuki XL-7’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Suzuki XL-7? You know your Suzuki XL-7 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.
