Could your 1994 Dodge Caravan be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Caravan may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Caravan battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Caravan) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Caravan won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1994 Dodge Caravan running newer, longer.

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 1994 Dodge Caravan.

  • When should I have Dodge Caravan alignment checked? You know your Dodge Caravan better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Dodge Caravan to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil.

It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Dodge Caravan engines.
  • Can Dodge dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should.
