2002 Dodge Stratus Oil Change

Need more info about 2002 Dodge Stratus oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2002 Stratus’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Stratus in the above table. Outside of Dodge-recommended oil change intervals, your Stratus may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Stratus. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2002 Dodge Stratus motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Dodge has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2002 Dodge Stratus vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Stratus’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Stratus by considering your driving style, and mileage.
