1991 Dodge Dakota Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Dodge Dakota and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Dakota. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Dakota, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Dodge Dakota!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Dakota perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Dodge Dakota problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1991 Dodge Dakota and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Dakota. 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.

Could your 1991 Dodge Dakota be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Dakota 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 Dakota battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 Dakota 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1991 Dodge Dakota running newer, longer. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1991 Dakota in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1991 Dodge Dakota.
