Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM Maintenance Checklist
RAM trucks are known for their power, performance, and capability. It’s easier than you think to keep your RAM vehicle operating at peak potential and prevent costly damage or repairs. Simply visit Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM for RAM maintenance you can trust from a team of experts skillful with all types of RAM models.
Common Maintenance Tasks
While your RAM truck is exceptionally tough, not every one of its parts is designed to last for the life of the vehicle. As consumables wear out, they need to be replaced. If they’re not, an item that could have been addressed by a maintenance visit — like an oil change — can become a major repair.
In addition to inspections, which we recommend when the seasons change, or when you’re headed out on a long road trip, we provide a number of other key maintenance services. These include:
- Check engine light diagnostics
- Tire changes and rotation
- Fluid replenishment
- Oil change
- Battery cleaning and replacement
- Filter replacement
- Wheel alignment
- Brake calibration and maintenance
Proper maintenance, using genuine MOPAR® parts installed by qualified technicians, does more than extend the life of your vehicle. It also keeps you safer, and ensures better fuel efficiency.
Helpful Vehicle Maintenance Interval Reminders
Your owner’s manual spells out maintenance intervals for these tasks. Once you’re in the system at our RAM dealership near Baltimore, you’ll get periodic reminders from us when it’s time for the essentials. There are also a few rules of thumb that can let you know when it’s time to drop by Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM for maintenance:
- Get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, on average.
- Replace your car battery every three to five years, scheduling inspections and cleanings in the interim
- Replace tires every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, and rotate them with every oil change.
- Replace brake pads every 30,000-70,000 miles.
You’ll notice that many of the numbers quoted above are ranges, rather than a single number. A RAM truck used for heavy hauling or towing will experience more wear than one simply used as a daily driver, so it will have different maintenance needs.
