Can Dodges get engine sludge?

Dodge Dakota engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Dodge-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

How does Dodge's recommended maintenance help me?

Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by Dodge to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!

Can my Dodge repair wait?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Dodge Dakota, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.
