2008 Dodge Magnum Maintenance

You want your Dodge Magnum to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Magnum. 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 Magnum maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Dodge Magnum!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Magnum's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Dodge Magnum problems.

Bring your 2008 Dodge Magnum to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Magnum. 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 2008 Dodge Magnum be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Magnum may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Magnum 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 Magnum) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Magnum 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 help your 2008 Dodge Magnum's engine run smoother. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 Magnum 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 Dodge Magnum.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Magnum can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Dodge Magnum 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. Components within your Dodge Magnum's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Magnum maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge Magnum cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Dodge Magnum? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2008 Dodge Magnum maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
