1991 Dodge Colt Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Colt and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Colt could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Colt maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Dodge Colt!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 Colt running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1991 Dodge Colt problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1991 Dodge Colt and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Colt’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1991 Dodge Colt be ready for a new battery? 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 Colt may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Colt battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Colt) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Colt won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1991 Dodge Colt's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1991 Colt. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1991 Dodge Colt.

Maintaining your Dodge Colt steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). 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 Dodge Colt steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Dodge Colt's steering system require regular maintenance.
