1985 Dodge Mini Ram Maintenance

You want your Dodge Mini Ram to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Mini Ram could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Mini Ram maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mini Ram's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Dodge Mini Ram problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mini Ram's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Mini Ram 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 Mini Ram) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Dodge Mini Ram won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1985 Dodge Mini Ram running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 Mini Ram. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1985 Dodge Mini Ram? We can help with that, too!

That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Dodge Mini Ram steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Mini Ram's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Mini Ram 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. 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 Mini Ram engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
