Maintaining Your Dodge Performance Engine: Service Tips

The powerful engine of your Dodge requires routine service to remain at peak performance. Here’s a guide to Dodge performance engine maintenance for optimal horsepower, torque, and responsiveness over the long run.

Use the Most Suitable Motor Oil

Inside your engine, motor oil serves as a layer of liquid protection against friction and premature wear. Your engine was designed for specific oil quality and viscosity, and will perform at its very best with the exact type of oil described in the owner’s manual. Follow that guidance to keep your engine protected and powering along for longer. 

Always Change the Oil on Time 

Timely oil changes are also a must. Motor oil not only lubricates, but also cools and cleans the complexity of moving parts inside the engine. In a way, it’s the engine’s caretaker, without which your car’s most vital component will rapidly suffer wear and tear that’s very difficult to fix. To prevent this, change your oil twice at year, if not more frequently. 

Maintain the Cooling System

Your car’s cooling system is the engine’s stalwart defender against overheating, which is an ever-present hazard with any engine. Check your coolant regularly and have it flushed every two years. It’s also wise to have your whole cooling system inspected and pressure-tested yearly.

Replace the Engine Air Filter

The inflow of oxygen into the engine is kept clean by the air filter. This filter needs to be replaced at least once a year before it becomes so clogged up with dust and other airborne debris that it restricts the airflow. 

Replace the Fuel Filter 

The fuel filter keeps as much, dirt, rust, and contaminants as possible out of the engine. You’ll need to replace this filter periodically. A trusted technician can decide when it’s time for a new fuel filter.

Avoid Emptying the Gas Tank

It’s best not to allow your gas tank to empty out completely. Running close to empty could stress the fuel delivery system and might overheat the fuel pump. Also, some of the sediment at the bottom of the tank could get stirred up and cause the fuel filter to clog up more rapidly. 

Schedule Regular Dodge Performance Engine Maintenance

Your car’s high-performance engine deserves specialist attention from a factory-trained Dodge professional. It’s best to book routine maintenance with our experienced technicians, who can carry out all of these services.
