Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Dodge Durango and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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.

Could your 2006 Dodge Durango 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 Durango 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 Durango battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Dodge Durango engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Durango. 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 2006 Dodge Durango.
