1987 Dodge W350 Maintenance

You want your Dodge W350 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your W350. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine W350 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Dodge W350!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your W350 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Dodge W350 problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Dodge W350 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your W350's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Dodge W350. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your W350 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Dodge W350 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your W350 stranded. Your Dodge W350 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Dodge W350 running newer, longer. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1987 W350 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. 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 1987 Dodge W350.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge W350 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. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Dodge W350 steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Dodge W350's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge W350 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too.
