Maintenance for Your 2000 Dodge Durango

How often should I service my 2000 Dodge Durango?

Here’s Why 2000 Dodge Durango Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Dodge Durango to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Durango could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Durango, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2000 Dodge Durango maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Durango's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2000 Dodge Durango problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Dodge Durango Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 Dodge Durango and our technicians will jump right in 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Durango. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2000 Dodge Durango? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Durango battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Durango stranded. Your Dodge Durango won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2000 Dodge Durango engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2000 Durango, 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2000 Dodge Durango? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Dodge Durango steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. 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, perform Dodge Durango suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Durango's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Durango maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Dodge Durango engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Dodge Durango radiator in need of replacement? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2000 Dodge Durango maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

Questions About 2000 Dodge Durango Maintenance

Take an active role in maintaining your 2000 Dodge Durango. Get answers to common Dodge Durango maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Dodge Durango? You know your Dodge Durango better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Dodge Durango to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Dodge Durango engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Dodge? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Dodge Durango to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
