Your Guide to 1997 Volvo S90 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Volvo S90 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S90 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 S90, 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 1997 Volvo S90!

Volvo 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your S90 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1997 Volvo S90 problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Volvo S90 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Volvo S90 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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 S90's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1997 Volvo S90 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Volvo S90 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your S90 stranded. Your Volvo S90 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1997 Volvo S90 running newer, longer. To learn how often Volvo recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 S90, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Volvo S90? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Volvo S90 suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Volvo S90 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Volvo S90's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Volvo S90 maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Volvo S90’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is your Volvo S90 radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too.
