2011 Ram 2500 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Ram 2500 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 2500 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 2500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 Ram 2500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ram 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 2500 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Ram 2500 problems later.

Bring your 2011 Ram 2500 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 2500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 Ram 2500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 Ram 2500 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 2500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ram 2500 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2011 Ram 2500 engine. See Ram's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 2500 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. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2011 Ram 2500.
