1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Maintenance Schedule

You want your Dodge Grand Caravan to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Caravan. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Grand Caravan, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Grand Caravan running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan 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 Grand Caravan. 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 1998 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 be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 Grand Caravan, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1998 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! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Dodge Grand Caravan steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Grand Caravan's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Dodge Grand Caravan maintenance, 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. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Dodge Grand Caravan engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Dodge Grand Caravan radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan maintenance.
