1997 Dodge Avenger Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Avenger, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Avenger. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Avenger maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1997 Dodge Avenger!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 Avenger's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Dodge Avenger problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Dodge Avenger and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Avenger’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 Dodge Avenger. 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 Dodge Avenger 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Avenger stranded. Your Dodge Avenger won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1997 Dodge Avenger's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1997 Avenger. 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1997 Dodge Avenger.
