What to Know About 1997 Chrysler Town & Country Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Chrysler Town & Country, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Town & Country could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Town & Country maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Chrysler themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Town & Country's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1997 Chrysler Town & Country problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Chrysler Town & Country Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Town & Country. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Chrysler Town & Country battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Town & Country) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Chrysler Town & Country could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country engine. See Chrysler's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 Town & Country in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Chrysler Town & Country can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Chrysler Town & Country steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Chrysler Town & Country's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Chrysler Town & Country services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Chrysler Town & Country’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Chrysler Town & Country? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it.

Take an active role in maintaining your 1997 Chrysler Town & Country. Get answers to common Chrysler Town & Country maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Chrysler Town & Country? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Chrysler Town & Country to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Chrysler Town & Country engines.
  •  Why are my Chrysler dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Chrysler Town & Country in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
