Are you a hoon? If you are reading this and driving your new Ellwood City Dodge Challenger, chances are the answer is yes, because you are behind the wheel of the most hooneriffic rides on wheels. Built for excitement and pleasure, it's made in various states of tune ranging from a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a 5.7-liter Hemi and a 6.4-liter Hemi. As precisely made as they are, they still need regular maintenance to keep up their performance and power. A few simple steps in following a service schedule will make sure your Dodge Challenger is up to the task, all day, every day. A wealth of information is in your Dodge Challenger Owner's Manual but rely on the
Dodge mechanics at Ellwood City CDJR who know your Challenger inside and out.

Wet stuff: Think of your Ellwood City Dodge Challenger as a precision instrument built to provide years of pleasure when properly cared for. Designed to operate with either synthetic or conventional motor oil, it also uses MOPAR-approved oil filters to trap impurities and particles that may find their way inside. And your Dodge Challenger is smart, too, letting you know it's time for a change via the vehicle's Oil Change Indicator alert. But if you "forget" to change it, your Ellwood City CDJR mechanic recommends that you not exceed 12 months or 10,000 miles for the 3.6-liter and 5.7-liter engines. Owners of the 6.2-liter Hemi should consult their Owner's Manual for service intervals. 



On the straight and narrow: Look we get it about being a hoonigan. We like to blip the throttle every now and then, too. But, it's totally different to wear down tires before their time, because your car is out of alignment. Professionally aligned, the tires will steer you on the straight and clear, with the added bonus of long tire life. Your Ellwood City Dodge service department can set up proper intervals for your Dodge Challenger at competitive service costs. A Napleton Pro tip: Always balance and rotate your tires before performing an alignment to maintain equal tire wear at every corner.



Sparked and Charged Up: The spark plugs for your Ellwood City Dodge Challenger are typically long-lifers but every now and then, they may need replacing. The same thing with the batteries. That's okay though. As strong as they are, they can succumb to high humidity and excessive heat, which both work to shorten the life of the batteries, or conversely extreme cold that can minimize the starting power. The professionals at Ellwood City CDJR stock all the parts you will need to keep your Challenger as fresh as the day you brought it home. They also recommend changing spark plugs at the 100,000 mile mark. Your Dodge Challenger owner's manual can offer more extensive details.

Refreshing the Fluid: The automatic transmissions on your Ellwood City Dodge Challenger are modern sealed units with relatively little to go wrong as a result. If high-mileage is what you do, your Ellwood City Dodge mechanic recommends draining and refilling the transmission fluids at a 90,000 mile interval.  If your Dodge Challenger is equipped with a manual transmission, your Dodge mechanic advises you to change your MANUAL transmission fluid every 50,000 miles. Such attention to detail goes a long way to insure trouble-free driving in your Challenger. For more information check with your Dodge Challenger's owner's manual and your Dodge mechanic.

Brake Pads and Rotors: With the speed your Challenger is capable of, isn't it good to know that it has the brakes to slow you down? Can it stop as expected? The Dodge Challenger's standard and specialized Brembo Calipers and pads (if equipped), are designed for sure stopping power each time. For how long, though, depends on your driving style. An inspection of the brake rotors and pads by your Dodge mechanic are required to keep your Challenger operating properly, and should be done every time you are in for an oil change. Contact your Ellwood City Dodge Chrysler Jeep and Ram service advisor for more information.

Air Filters: The air and fuel mixture entering your Hemi or Pentastar engine is what makes your Ellwood City Challenger go, and for best results, the cleaner air, the better. Designed to let the air in freely, while trapping dirt particles and debris, it should be changed every 30,000 miles unless you live in a particularly dusty or arid region, which would require more frequent exchanges. Trust us. Your Challenger will thank you for it. Stop by the Ellwood City parts department for prices that will help keep your service costs down.

New Wipers: Streaky windshield wiper blades can make your windshield dirtier than before you turned them on. Wipers, by their exposure to the heat and humidity, can become brittle resulting in smudges and patches of water that aren't getting washed away. Care should be taken to change the wipers every six months to make sure the road ahead is a clear one. The Ellwood City Dodge Service and Parts department stocks a full range of Mopar-approved Wiper Blades for your Dodge Challenger and other vehicles. A Napleton Pro tip: When the wipers leave water spots, squeaks or streaks on the windshield, it's time for replacement.

Rotate those tires: The tires on your new Dodge Challenger are perfectly matched to the drive dynamics of that vehicle. You've invested heavily in your Challenger and in order to keep it running like new, your tires should be rotated at the same time you get your oil and filter changed. But if you see excessive outer wear on the edges or cupping on the tread surface, don't wait until the next oil change-get in immediately so your Ellwood City mechanic can take corrective action right away. Check your Dodge Challenger owner's manual for more information. A Napleton Pro Tip: Always rotate the tires before having an all-wheel-alignment performed.
