A Dodge SUV is the perfect choice for city driving and off-road trips around the Visalia area. However, you must stay on top of your SUV’s routine maintenance to ensure it’s always ready for the next adventure. Taking care of your SUV will make it run smoothly and efficiently and save you a lot of money and headaches in the future. Follow these tips from our Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM team to keep your Dodge SUV in peak condition.
An oil change can enhance the performance of your Dodge SUV. Engine oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, minimizing heat, friction, and wear and tear. Over time, this oil degrades or becomes contaminated with dirt and other particles, which reduces its lubricating ability. Changing your engine oil ensures that your engine gets fresh, clean oil for optimal lubrication. The result is a healthy, high-performing engine.
Good tires are essential for safe driving on the road. That’s why it’s good to take proper care of your tires to extend their lifespan and reduce the risk of accidents. Here are some tire maintenance tasks you need to do:
Tire Inspections: Check your tires for bumps, cuts, bulges, or tread wear.
Tire Rotation: Switch up the position of your tires (from back to front and vice versa) to ensure even tire wear and improve your SUV’s handling.
Tire Pressure Checks: Check your tire pressure every couple of weeks and readjust to the recommended levels if necessary.
Have Your Brakes Serviced
The brakes are an SUV’s most important safety feature. To ensure your peace of mind on the road, take your SUV to a trusted mechanic for brake inspections and services.
Monitor Fluid Levels
In addition to motor oil, your SUV needs other fluids, such as power steering fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, etc., to work correctly. Check the levels of these fluids and top them off if they are low to avoid mechanical issues and maintain your SUV’s performance.
Engine Air Filter
A dirty engine air filter can allow dust and other particles to enter your SUV’s engine, reducing fuel efficiency. Check your engine air filter and change it every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or at least once a year.
