How Often to Get 2012 Dodge Avenger Oil Changes

Need more info about 2012 Dodge Avenger oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2012 Avenger’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Avenger in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Avenger may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Avenger. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2012 Dodge Avenger Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Dodge Avenger? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Avenger engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Avenger oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Dodge Avenger oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Dodge Avenger oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Avenger oil light comes on? Your Dodge Avenger oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Avenger's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Dodge Avenger during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
