1987 Dodge D350 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge D350, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your D350. 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 D350 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Dodge D350!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your D350 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Dodge D350 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Dodge D350 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your D350. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Dodge D350. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your D350 may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 D350 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty D350) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge D350 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 prevent premature wear on your 1987 Dodge D350 engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1987 D350, check out the information table at the beginning 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 1987 Dodge D350.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge D350 can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge D350's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge D350 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.
