What to Know About 2010 Dodge Nitro Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Dodge Nitro to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Nitro has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Nitro maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2010 Dodge Nitro maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Nitro running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2010 Dodge Nitro problems.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Dodge Nitro

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Dodge Nitro for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Nitro's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2010 Dodge Nitro? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge Nitro battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Nitro stranded. Your Dodge Nitro won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2010 Dodge Nitro engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2010 Nitro 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 2010 Dodge Nitro? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Nitro can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Dodge Nitro's steering and suspension system.

2010 Dodge Nitro Maintenance Questions

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

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Dodge Nitro? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Dodge Nitro to high mileage oil? If your Dodge Nitro has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can Dodge dashboard warning lights wait? 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 Nitro to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
