Here’s Why 2010 Dodge Caliber Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Dodge Caliber to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Caliber. 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 Caliber maintenance. Just follow your 2010 Dodge Caliber 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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 Caliber's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Dodge Caliber problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Dodge Caliber Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2010 Dodge Caliber and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Caliber'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 2010 Dodge Caliber? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Caliber battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Caliber) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Caliber won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2010 Dodge Caliber's engine run smoother. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 Caliber in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2010 Dodge Caliber.

Maintaining your Dodge Caliber steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Dodge Caliber steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Caliber's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Dodge Caliber services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
