1983 Dodge D150 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Dodge D150, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your D150 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get D150 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1983 Dodge D150 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your D150 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1983 Dodge D150 problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1983 Dodge D150 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your D150's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1983 Dodge D150 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 D150 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge D150 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. 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 D150 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1983 Dodge D150's engine run smoother.
