Keeping your new Chrysler’s engine maintained will decrease your overall cost of ownership and extend the life of your vehicle. Inexpensive preventative maintenance will help stave off costly problems that can develop over time if a vehicle is not properly serviced. Butler Chrysler dealers at Precision Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram have extensive experience in keeping Chryslers running for the long haul, and they offer these tips for engine maintenance:
1. Change the Oil – The single most important piece of engine maintenance you can do is regularly change your oil and oil filter. Vehicle oil cools, lubricates, and protects your engine. When oil becomes degraded or dries up, it can result in increased wear and tear. Following Chrysler’s oil change schedule will help preserve your engine.
2. Take Care of Your Transmission – Periodically check your transmission fluid and be sure to change the fluid and transmission fluid filter every 30,000 miles.
3. Keep a Fresh Air Filter – Your vehicle’s air filter plays a key role in preventing the build-up of dirt and other contaminants in your vehicle’s engine. It also negatively impacts your gas mileage. The filter should be changed every 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
By practicing these maintenance tips, drivers can avoid costly repairs that can run thousands of dollars.
