2008 Dodge Viper Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Dodge Viper, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Viper, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2008 Dodge Viper maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Viper's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2008 Dodge Viper problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Dodge Viper and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Viper’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2008 Dodge Viper? 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. 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 Viper) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 help your 2008 Dodge Viper's engine run smoother. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 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. 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 2008 Dodge Viper? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Viper can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.
