2004 Dodge Durango Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Dodge Durango, 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 Durango. 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Dodge Durango!

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 Durango running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2004 Dodge Durango problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Dodge Durango and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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.

Could your 2004 Dodge Durango be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Durango battery. 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Durango) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Durango could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2004 Dodge Durango's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2004 Durango, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2004 Dodge Durango.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Durango can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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, provide the appropriate Dodge Durango steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Dodge Durango's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Durango maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Dodge Durango’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Dodge Durango? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it.
