2013 Dodge Grand Caravan Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Grand Caravan, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Grand Caravan could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Grand Caravan maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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 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! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Caravan) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Grand Caravan 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 prevent premature wear on your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 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. 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 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan? We can help with that, too!
