2008 Dodge Challenger Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Challenger and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Challenger could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 Challenger maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Dodge Challenger!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Challenger running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 Dodge Challenger problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Dodge Challenger 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 Challenger's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2008 Dodge Challenger be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 Challenger battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Dodge Challenger won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2008 Dodge Challenger running newer, longer. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2008 Challenger, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2008 Dodge Challenger? We can help with that, too!

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Challenger maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
