Dodge Service Checklist

While your Dodge vehicle may be running in pristine condition, it won't stay that way unless you are proactive. Regular Dodge service is the best way to keep your vehicle in great shape. Here, the team at our Dodge dealership in Newark, DE, goes over the key maintenance tasks and when to get them.

Fluids Check

Do you know how many systems in your car require fluids? There are quite a few, including the brakes, power steering, and transmission. In order for everything to operate properly, these fluids need to be at the right levels. This is why they should be checked every couple of months and topped off if needed.

Tire Pressure Gauge

The pressure in your tires should also be checked every two to three months. This is because it can fluctuate, and temperature changes can really affect it. You don't want to rely solely on your car's tire pressure monitoring system; it will only alert you about an issue if the pressure gets below 75 percent of the recommended levels.

Oil Change

Perhaps the best thing you can do for your Dodge car is to make sure it gets oil changes every six months or so. This ensures that clean and fresh oil flows through the engine, which boosts power and increases fuel economy.

Tire Rotation

When you get your oil changed, you should consider having your tires rotated as well. When you do this, they wear down evenly, which offers two distinct benefits. First, they will give you better performance. Secondly, they will last thousands of miles longer as opposed to tires that don't get rotated.

Battery Test

One Dodge part that needs to be regularly replaced is the battery. A typical battery may only last five years, which is why yours should be tested annually. This lets you keep an eye on the power remaining.

Brake Inspection

You should also have your braking system examined every year by our technicians. Things like pads and rotors wear out over time, and an inspection will let you be proactive about getting any necessary replacements.
