1998 Dodge Viper Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Viper, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Viper 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 Viper maintenance. Just follow your 1998 Dodge Viper maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Viper perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Dodge Viper problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1998 Dodge Viper for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Viper's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1998 Dodge Viper be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Viper may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge Viper 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Viper stranded. Your Dodge Viper won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1998 Dodge Viper running newer, longer. To learn how often Dodge recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 Viper, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1998 Dodge Viper.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
