1988 Dodge B150 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Dodge B150 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your B150 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get B150 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1988 Dodge B150 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your B150 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Dodge B150 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Dodge B150 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 B150'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 1988 Dodge B150? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your B150 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge B150 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your B150 stranded. Your Dodge B150 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1988 Dodge B150's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 B150, 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Dodge B150? We can help with that, too!
