As the seasons change, you’ll find that you have different demands out of your vehicle. That’s where Dodge service at Pogue Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM comes in. Here are a few service tasks we suggest to keep your Dodge vehicle going strong all fall and winter long.
Change Your Oil
Every vehicle has a recommended oil change schedule that usually can be found in your owner’s manual. However, we know it’s easy to put off maintenance, particularly in busy summer months. If you’ve missed your recent oil change, make sure to get one scheduled right away.
Replace Your Windshield Wipers
As a general rule of thumb, windshield wipers should be replaced every six to 12 months. Of course, when you live in a place like Powderly that sees a lot of rain (our average rainfall is 10 inches more than the US average), you want to get this done sooner rather than later. Plus, it’s important to make sure your wipers are ready for the cold months ahead.
Inspect Your Tires
With cold weather on the horizon, it’s also crucial to make sure your tires are ready. Tires should have at least 4/32 of an inch of tread, and many experts recommend you up that to 6/32 of an inch in the winter. Now is also an opportune time to rotate your tires too, which helps minimize wear.
Test Your Car Battery
The cold weather can drain your battery, so it’s important to test your battery’s condition as temperatures continue to drop. You should also clean your battery’s terminals; buildup can make it more difficult for your vehicle to start in cold weather.
