Here’s Why 2010 Dodge Journey Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Dodge Journey, 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 Journey. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Journey, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2010 Dodge Journey!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Journey's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Dodge Journey problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Dodge Journey Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Dodge Journey for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Journey. 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 2010 Dodge Journey be ready for a new battery? 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 Journey battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Journey) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Journey could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2010 Dodge Journey engine. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 2010 Journey, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2010 Dodge Journey? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Dodge Journey suspension and steering system 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 the appropriate Dodge Journey 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Journey's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Dodge Journey maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Dodge Journey’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Dodge Journey? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2010 Dodge Journey maintenance and repairs.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

2010 Dodge Journey Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 2010 Dodge Journey. Get answers to common Dodge Journey maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Dodge Journey alignment checked? You know your Dodge Journey better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Dodge Journey to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Dodge Journey engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Dodge? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Dodge Journey to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
