Keeping Your 2024 RAM in Peak Condition: Essential Services From Your Dealership

To keep your 2024 RAM in top-notch condition, you have to do more than just wash it and fill up the tank. To ensure that your vehicle performs at its best for years to come, you need to head to the RAM dealership for regular maintenance services.

Regular Oil Changes

Your RAM’s engine depends on oil. Regular oil changes prevent engine wear and tear by ensuring proper lubrication, reducing friction, and helping to keep the engine components cool during operation. Not sure how often to change your oil? Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Depending on your driving habits, this could be every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

 

Tire Maintenance

Tires play a big part in your safety, comfort, and keeping that fuel efficiency up. Poorly maintained tires can lead to reduced traction, longer stopping distances, and even blowouts. Regularly inspect your tires for signs of wear and tear. Check the pressure at least once a month to ensure they are inflated to the correct pressure, and have them rotated on schedule. Tire rotations usually line up with oil changes, which makes it easier to remember.

Brake Inspections

You can’t drive safely without working brakes, but over time they become less effective. Have your brakes inspected regularly to catch issues with them before they become serious. Our technicians will look for wear on your pads, check for fluid leaks, and examine the rotors. We’ll replace any worn components with OEM parts that are made specifically for your car.

Fluid Checks and Replacements

Besides engine oil, your RAM relies on a few other vital fluids. These fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, need to be kept clean and at the correct levels. Fluids should be topped off and replaced as needed, and regular checks at your dealership can prevent them from getting dangerously low.

Engine and Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Air filters prevent dirt and other pollutants from entering your vehicle’s engine and cabin, keeping the air inside your truck clean and protecting the engine from harmful debris. Replace your engine air filter and cabin air filter according to RAM’s schedule. This usually means 15,000 to 30,000 miles for engine air filters and possibly more often for cabin air filters.

Battery Care

A failing battery can impact your electrical system’s performance, or worse, leave you stranded. Have your battery terminals cleaned and the battery tested during regular service visits to check its charge and overall health. Most batteries need to be replaced every three to five years.

Scheduling regular visits to the dealership is the best way to keep your RAM in the best possible condition. Call Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro in Edinboro, PA, to schedule your next service today.
