What to Know About 2011 Dodge Journey Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Dodge Journey to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Journey. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Journey maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 Dodge Journey!

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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Journey perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Dodge Journey problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Dodge Journey

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 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 2011 Dodge Journey be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Journey 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 Journey) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Journey won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2011 Dodge Journey's engine run smoother. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 Journey in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2011 Dodge Journey? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Dodge Journey steering and suspension 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! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system 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 could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. 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 Journey engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Dodge Journey? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2011 Dodge Journey maintenance and repairs.

Questions About 2011 Dodge Journey Maintenance

Take an active role in maintaining your 2011 Dodge Journey. Get answers to common Dodge Journey maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Dodge Journey? 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 does my Dodge Journey need 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.
