1996 Dodge B1500 Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge B1500 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your B1500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Just follow your 1996 Dodge B1500 maintenance schedule!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your B1500 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Dodge B1500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Dodge B1500 and our technicians will jump right in with 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 B1500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Dodge B1500. 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 B1500 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 B1500 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 B1500 stranded. Your Dodge B1500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
