Maintaining Your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango

New Wipers: As tough as your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango may appear, neatness counts after all, and it just doesn't cut it to show up with a swirly, streaked windshield that lets the world know you don't care how you look. Changing to a fresh pair of Mopar-approved wipers every six months insures a sparkling windshield after each sweep from left to right. Eventually, due to heat, humidity, and even cold temperatures, wipers will tend to become less effective over time. Your Mid Rivers CDJR service department will have the proper wipers for your Dodge Durango on hand so you can be on your way in no time. A Napleton Pro Tip: Streaky wiper tracks, water spots or audible squeaks, are a good indication it's time for replacement.



Fluidic Motion: Oils, and other lubricants are what keeps your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango operating smoothly. Transmission Fluid. Brake Fluid. Wiper Fluid. Coolant. Oil. They are essential to the proper operations of your Dodge Durango but eventually can lose their effectiveness. That's why it's a great idea for a monthly check on your Durango's fluid levels to make sure you aren't "a quart low," Checking these essentials will make sure your Dodge Durango is ready to go within a moment's notice! Stop by our Mid Rivers service department to have one of our service techs top you off, even between oil changes. Call Mid Rivers CDJR for an appointment today.

Spark Plugs: Your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango receives its jolt from six or eight Mopar-Approved spark plugs with a life expectancy of 100,000-miles, but that doesn't mean they may never need replacing. Things happen, you know? But they are essential to your vehicle's operation. If you need them, we stock them, and we install them. Consult with your Durango Owner's manual and your Mid Rivers service advisor for more information today.

Alignment: Under optimal conditions, your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango will drive straight and true. But imagine driving down a straight piece of highway, and feeling it start to drift left or right. What then? If you are experiencing that, chances are good your Durango is in need of an all-wheel-alignment. The same phenomenon occurs under braking as well. In addition to being unsafe, if unattended it will also contribute to accelerated tire wear. Consult your owner's manual and your Mid Rivers Service Advisor for more information. A Napleton Pro Tip: Always rotate and balance your tires before settling down for an alignment. That way tire wear should equalize at all four corners of your Dodge Durango.



Transmission Maintenance: Your Dodge Durango is equipped with a modern, sealed automatic transmission, which doesn't require much in the way of maintenance.  Still, your Mid Rivers Dodge Durango owner's manual recommends changing the transmission fluid every 90,000 miles, or sooner if you subject your Durango to any towing or other high-stress situations like driving over mountain ranges. With care, your Dodge Durango gearbox will offer years of trouble-free service. For more information check your Dodge Durango's Owner's Manual and consult with your Mid Rivers Dodge service advisor.

Filtration: Air and fuel are the two most critical components that help to move your vehicle. Mopar-Approved air, oil and fuel filters control the flow and clear impurities before they have a chance to enter the engine. With a life expectancy of 30,000 miles, like a toothbrush they are easily replaced. If you live in more arid, dusty regions, your Durango Air Filter may require changing a bit sooner, but that's no biggie, right? Your Mid Rivers Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram Service Department will stock the correct filters for your Durango.
