2000 Dodge Viper Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Dodge Viper to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, 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 2000 Dodge Viper 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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 Viper running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2000 Dodge Viper problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2000 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 2000 Dodge Viper 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 Viper may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Viper battery. 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 Viper stranded. Your Dodge Viper 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 prevent premature wear on your 2000 Dodge Viper engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2000 Viper in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2000 Dodge Viper.

Routine upkeep for your Dodge Viper suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Dodge Viper 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 Viper's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Viper maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge Viper cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Dodge Viper? We can take care of that. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.
