2014 Dodge Challenger Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Challenger, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Challenger could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Challenger maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2014 Dodge Challenger!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Challenger's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2014 Dodge Challenger problems in the future.

Bring your 2014 Dodge Challenger to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Challenger’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2014 Dodge Challenger be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Challenger may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Challenger 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Challenger stranded. Your Dodge Challenger could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

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 2014 Dodge Challenger running newer, longer. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2014 Challenger in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2014 Dodge Challenger.

Routine upkeep for your Dodge Challenger suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).
