Like a seven-passenger Dodge Challenger, your new Ellwood City Dodge Durango can handle almost any job you throw its way. Available in a wide range of models with engines ranging from the Durango SXT with its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, the Durango R/T with its 5.7-liter Hemi, or the Durango SRT with 6.4-liter Hemi, it can haul the kids, dog and some serious butt at the same time.  

The Owner's Manual in your new Dodge Durango has almost all of the information needed to properly care for, and maintain your new vehicle. Still, it's always a great idea to consult the expert service mechanics at Ellwood City Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram, who are ready to advise you on the proper care and feeding of your new Dodge Durango.



Brake Pads, Rotors, Etc.: As a tier-one piece of safety equipment, brakes and rotors are probably the most important piece of kit found on your new Durango. After several years of routine service, it is perfectly normal to expect the rotors and pads to start wearing down, causing them to become less effective. Perhaps you are hearing a squeaky noise while applying the brakes. Over time, they may get louder. At this point, chances are good you are experiencing metal-on-metal contact that means you have worn all the way through the brake pad material, which could result in higher than normal service costs. Aggressive driving styles can shorten your brake life, but your mileage may vary. Your Ellwood City Dodge service technician recommends an inspection every time you bring your Durango in for an oil change.



Fluidic Motion: Oils, are not the only important fluids circulating through your new Ellwood City Dodge Durango. There are many others, too, that all do their part to keep you on your way, and we would bet most people don't even think about them. Transmission Fluid. Brake Fluid. Wiper Fluid. Coolant. Steering Fluid and more. Essential for the proper operation of your Dodge Durango, even they can evaporate or need replacement. Your Ellwood City service mechanics recommend a monthly check on your Durango's fluid levels to make sure you aren't "a quart low" which could possibly be a sign of some other issue. Checking these essentials will make sure your Dodge Durango is ready to go when and where you want to go, as soon as possible. Your Ellwood City service mechanics will be happy to take a look and our Dodge Parts Department will have the answer to every one of your vehicle's service needs. Call Ellwood City CDJR for an appointment today. Can't find us? Google "mechanics near me" and there we are!



Alignment: Is your Dodge Durango driving straight and true, or does it like to take little side trips - to the left and right sides of the road, instead? If it exhibits this behavior, chances are good that your Durango is in need of an all-wheel alignment. This same phenomenon occurs under braking as well. In addition to being unsafe, if unattended, it will also wear your tires out faster. Consult your owner's manual and your Ellwood City mechanics 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.

New Wipers: Neatness counts with your new Ellwood City Dodge Durango.  Seriously, it's just not a pretty picture to show up somewhere with a swirly streaked windshield that lets the world know you don't care how you look. It's like a little boy putting on a suit but not bothering to wash his hands after playing in a mud puddle. Swapping a pair of old worn out wipers for a fresh new pair of MOPAR-approved wipers every six months insures a sparkling windshield with every sweep of its arm. Eventually, heat, humidity, and even cold, can cause wipers to become less effective over time. Your Ellwood City CDJR mechanics will have the proper wipers to service your Dodge Durango for the road ahead. A Napleton Pro Tip: Streaky wiper tracks, water spots or audible squeaks, are a good indication it's time for replacement. Oh, and make the boy wash up before putting on the suit!

Spark Plugs and Batteries: Your Ellwood City Dodge Durango receives a spark from a set of six or eight (depending on your engine) MOPAR-approved spark plugs with a life expectancy of approximately 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 install them. The same with batteries. Used to start up your engine as well as working to keep your electrical system current (sorry, we couldn't resist) the batteries are just as important. But time, heat, humidity and cold can take a toll on batteries. Consult your Durango Owner's manual and your Ellwood City Dodge mechanic for more information today.

Transmission Maintenance: Your Dodge Durango is equipped with a modern, sealed automatic transmission, which means it shouldn't require much in the way of a repair.  Still, your Ellwood City Dodge Durango owner's manual recommends a transmission fluid service every 90,000 miles or sooner, especially if you subject your Durango to any high stress situations like towing or driving over mountainous regions. With care, your Dodge Durango gearbox will offer years of repair free service. For more information check your Dodge Durango's Owner's Manual and consult with your Ellwood City Dodge mechanic.



Oil and Filters: Thinking of oil (yes we were, above), your Ellwood City Dodge Durango is engineered for a long life on the road. Although your Ellwood City Dodge Durango probably rolled of the assembly line filled with conventional oil, it's fully capable of running high-tech synthetics, too. In fact, our service mechanics recommend it. Regardless of which type you select, we will stock it at our Ellwood City CDJR Service Department. Your Dodge Durango Owner's Manual, describes that your vehicle is equipped with an Oil Change Indicator System to alert you when it's time to change your oil and filter. A smart system, it takes note of your driving style and adjusts the oil's life accordingly. If you enjoy towing, you should modify your oil change service schedule to coincide with the high-usage notice in your Dodge Durango owner's manual. Regardless, don't let the interval go longer than 12-months or 10,000 miles. Check with your Ellwood City Dodge Mechanics for more details.

Filtration: Air and fuel are the two most important and necessary items needed to get your vehicle underway. MOPAR-approved air, oil and fuel filters control the flow and help to prevent the introduction of debris, dust and dirt before they have a chance to enter the engine. Lasting approximately 30,000 miles, they occasionally need replacement like a run of the mill toothbrush. If you subject your Durango to more extreme challenges like dusty off-road running, they may require changing a bit sooner, but that's no biggie, right? Your Ellwood City Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram Parts Department will stock the correct filters for your Durango.

Finally: It's our own best seller, the Dodge Durango Owner's Manual! Filled with loads of useful information and service schedules, it even gives complete diagrams on how to properly rotate your tires. Your Ellwood City Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram service mechanics are eager to offer you professional service that will keep your Dodge Durango (and Dodge Grand Caravan) running like new.
