1987 Dodge Grand Caravan Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Grand Caravan, 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 Grand Caravan. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Grand Caravan maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan!

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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Grand Caravan perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Caravan's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 Grand Caravan in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 1987 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Grand Caravan can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Dodge Grand Caravan 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. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Dodge Grand Caravan's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Dodge Grand Caravan services, 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!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
