The Ultimate Guide to Dodge Scheduled Maintenance: What You Need to Know

Whether you’re driving a Charger, Durango, or Hellcat, all Dodge vehicles are renowned for exceptional performance, power, and style. However, maximizing the lifespan of these qualities requires a diligent maintenance schedule. Here’s a detailed outline of the most important Dodge maintenance to have carried out at your local Dodge dealer.

Oil Changes

The lubrication provided by motor oil allows your car’s engine to run smoothly for years and decades. Your Dodge uses advanced synthetic oil that has a terrific lifespan but still needs to be changed twice a year or more. Check your oil periodically to see if it’s become grimy-looking or low in volume. If it has, have it topped up or flushed at once. 

Fluid Checks 

Coolant protects the engine from catastrophic overheating. Now and then, inspect the coolant reservoir to make sure your coolant is at suitable levels and in good clean condition. You’ll need to flush it once every two years or so. Likewise, the brake fluid, transmission fluid, and other vehicle fluids must be properly maintained. 

Tire Rotations

With the rip-roaring power of a Dodge, you need firm tires to hold the road safely. Uneven tire wear is a threat to tires. You can counter uneven wear with tire biannual rotations.

Tire Pressure Checks

Once or twice a month, it’s also important to crouch and inspect the condition of your tires. First and foremost, check the air pressure. If the PSI isn’t at the exact level recommended in your owner’s manual, adjust as required. And if your tread depths are shallow or you notice signs of tire damage, consider replacing your tires. 

Brake Inspections 

Even the strongest of brakes slowly wear down. Have your brakes inspected twice a year, and any worn-out brake parts quickly replaced.

Air Filter Replacements

The air filters keep you and your engine safe from pollutants and dirty air. Both the engine and cabin air filter will usually need to be replaced once a year.

Windshield Wiper Changes

Along with keeping your windshield wiper fluid topped up, you’ll also need to change your wipers once or twice a year. Our icy Pennsylvania winters typically require tougher winter wipers to be installed.
