What is the maintenance schedule for the 1985 Dodge Aries?

Here’s Why 1985 Dodge Aries Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Dodge Aries and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Aries. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Aries maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Dodge Aries!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Aries's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Dodge Aries problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Dodge Aries Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1985 Dodge Aries to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Aries's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 Dodge Aries be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Aries battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Aries stranded. Your Dodge Aries won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1985 Dodge Aries running newer, longer. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 Aries, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1985 Dodge Aries.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Aries can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Dodge Aries steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Dodge Aries's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Dodge Aries maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though!
