1998 Toyota Celica Maintenance

When it comes to your Toyota Celica, 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 Celica has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Celica, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Toyota Celica!

Toyota knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 Celica perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1998 Toyota Celica problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Toyota Celica for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Celica’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1998 Toyota Celica. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Celica may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Toyota Celica 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Celica) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Toyota Celica won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1998 Toyota Celica's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1998 Celica. 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.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Toyota Celica can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Toyota Celica suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Toyota Celica's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Toyota Celica maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
