1998 Dodge Intrepid Maintenance Schedule

You want your Dodge Intrepid to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Intrepid. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Intrepid, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1998 Dodge Intrepid maintenance schedule!

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, 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Intrepid's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Dodge Intrepid problems in the future.

Bring your 1998 Dodge Intrepid to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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 Intrepid. 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 1998 Dodge Intrepid. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Intrepid may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Intrepid battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Intrepid stranded. Your Dodge Intrepid won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1998 Dodge Intrepid's engine run smoother. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 Intrepid, 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 Dodge Intrepid? We can help with that, too!

Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Intrepid's steering system with regular maintenance.
