Routine Dodge service is one of the best ways to protect your vehicle. With everything that goes into caring for your vehicle, it can be difficult to know where to begin. We’re tackling our most frequently asked questions at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview to help.
How Often Do I Need Dodge Service?
Every vehicle has different maintenance needs, which depend on your mileage, driving habits, and the conditions you drive in. We recommend that you review your owner’s manual to see the appropriate service timeline for your vehicle.
What if I Miss an Appointment?
If you miss an appointment, it’s important to make it up as soon as you can. Don’t simply wait for the next one. Maintenance is designed to be preventative and missing your appointments can lead to unnecessary damage.
What is an Oil Change?
Oil changes are a critical maintenance task. Your engine oil limits excessive heat and friction. If you don’t change it regularly, it won’t flow as smoothly, which can lead to engine damage or even engine failure.
What Type of Oil Should I Use?
Typically, synthetic oil is recommended for high-performance vehicles such as Dodge vehicles. It’s best to consult your owner’s manual to see which type is best for your vehicle or our trained technicians can help.
Can I Complete My Own Oil Changes?
If it’s in your wheelhouse, you can certainly change your own oil. However, it’s still important to bring your car in regularly. There are other crucial maintenance tasks that your vehicle needs and it’s always helpful to have your vehicle regularly inspected by a professional.
