1996 Dodge Intrepid Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Dodge Intrepid and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Intrepid. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Intrepid maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1996 Dodge Intrepid maintenance schedule!

Dodge knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Intrepid perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Dodge Intrepid problems later.

Bring your 1996 Dodge Intrepid to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Intrepid's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Dodge Intrepid. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Intrepid battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Intrepid 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 help your 1996 Dodge Intrepid's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 Intrepid, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1996 Dodge Intrepid.

Routine upkeep for your Dodge Intrepid suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. 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 Intrepid 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 Intrepid's steering and suspension system.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Dodge Intrepid engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
