1998 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Avenger maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1998 Dodge Avenger!

Dodge knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Avenger running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Dodge Avenger problems later.

Bring your 1998 Dodge Avenger to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Avenger's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1998 Dodge Avenger? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Avenger may need a replacement battery sooner. 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1998 Dodge Avenger's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 Avenger, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1998 Dodge Avenger.

Routine upkeep for your Dodge Avenger suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Dodge Avenger engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
