Your new Ellwood City Ram ProMaster Cargo Van is a vehicle beyond belief. It can haul bikes, pipes, machinery, pianos, band gear, marching bands, not to mention boxes of rubber bands. It is even capable of being the perfect technician's van, transforming into a mobile shop after being properly outfitted. But in order to keep it running from rubber band delivery to rubber band delivery, it needs to be kept on a proper service schedule that helps you to maintain your Ram Van properly.

A White Sheet: The Ellwood City Ram ProMaster Low Roof is the perfect city van. It's just the vehicle for around town deliveries and cross-country excursions. Powered by either the 3.6-liter gas V6 or the 3.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, your Ellwood City Ram ProMaster van will provide years of duty as long as you follow the Ram Service Schedule in the Ram Owner's Manual.  Your new Ellwood City Ram ProMaster Owner's Manual offers many tips and hints on the care of your new Ram truck. For further details please contact your Ellwood City Ram Mechanic.



Oil and Filters: Your Ram ProMaster Low Roof Van is perfect for driving long distances, handling some medium-to-heavy haulage, with a fairly high idle time while making deliveries. Your Ellwood City Ram mechanics suggest using an oil that's tough under pressure. Your Ellwood City Ram ProMaster owner's manual suggests a high-quality Mopar-Approved Conventional or Synthetic Motor Oil and Filter that won't break down when the going gets tougher. Your ProMaster "smart truck" is equipped with an Automatic Oil Change Indicator System which alerts you when it's time for a change. It's as simple as seeing the phrase "Oil Change Required," on the dashboard gauge binnacle. Your Ram's smart sensor can tell what type of driving your Ram has been subjected to and sometimes tell you to change it sooner than later. That could be in as little as 3,500-miles or as long as 7,500-miles. Still, it's possible that we totally forget to change it. Listen to your Ellwood City mechanics who will guide your Ram service. But a brief cautionary warning: Your Ellwood City service mechanics are vociferous that you should not let your Ram Low Roof Van go without an oil change for more than 12 months or 10,000-miles.

Fluids and Other Things: Oil is not the only crucial fluid running through the veins of your Ram ProMaster Cargo Van. In addition to motor oil, your ProMaster is supported by a wide variety of other fluids critical to its successful daily operation. They include Transmission Fluid, Power Steering Fluid, Brake Fluid, Coolant, Wiper Fluid and others. All do their part to see your Ram van operates in an efficient manner. Every so often, you'll find the need to top them off. Your Ellwood City Ram ProMaster mechanics will be happy to assist you with all your ProMaster service schedule needs.



Air Filtration: Just like you, your Ram ProMaster Low Roof Cargo Van can't breathe with a dirty air filter. Although its air filter does a great job grabbing the dust and debris, it eventually becomes "full" and needs replacement. That's why it's always a good idea to consult your Ellwood City Service Mechanics. Can't find us? Google "mechanics near me," and there we will be. The Ellwood City parts department will stock all the necessary filters for your Ram ProMaster Low Roof van. Good for roughly three years or 30,000 miles, you should have your Ellwood City mechanics inspect it whenever you are in for an oil change.
Brake Pads, Rotors, Linings and More: Critically important to your Ram ProMaster Low Roof van, brake pads and rotors are responsible for the stopping power and safety of your Ellwood City vehicle. Make it a point of asking the Ellwood City Ram Mechanic to inspect them every time you bring your truck in for an item on the owner's manual service schedule. While there, ask for an inspection of the parking brake functions as well. And a reminder in an effort to keep service costs down, aggressive driving tactics tend to wear the brakes down sooner than normal.  Your mileage may vary but so will your braking ability! Your Ellwood City Ram mechanics, will be happy to inspect the rotors, pads and more during your next oil change.

 
Transmission Maintenance:  Your Ellwood City Ram ProMaster Low Roof Cargo Van sends the power from the engine to the pavement through a precision sealed automatic transmission unit optimized for your vehicle. As reliable as it may be, sealed doesn't mean it doesn't need Ram ProMaster Service. A monthly check of the automatic transmission fluid will insure it's at its proper level, which offers the most protection possible with the added benefit of reduced service costs. If you subject your ProMaster to a more strenuous routine, check with your Ellwood City mechanic for further information on a revised service schedule. Your Ram ProMaster Owner's Manual is also the perfect source for more information.
Windshield Wipers: Driving through a hot summer or a brutally cold winter will expose your windshield wipers to a variety of conditions that will do their very best to cut their life expectancy in half. Hot city driving, stop and go traffic, brittle cold temperatures and other factors will do their part to cut a windshield wiper's durability and life expectancy. When they become worn, it's a wise move to run to the Ellwood City Ram Parts department for a fresh pair of wipers to help you see again. That's why we say don't leave anything to chance, and change your wiper blades every six months. The Ram ProMaster mechanic in Ellwood City will stock the proper wipers and other Ram parts for your ProMaster Van so that you can get back on the road in no time, for continued top performance. A Napleton Pro Tip: When the wipers streak, spot or squeak, that's a good indication it's time for replacement.


 
All-Wheel-Alignment: Your Ellwood City Ram ProMaster Low Roof Cargo Van, under optimal inflation, should find itself going straight as an arrow down the highway. If not, it's probably because it needs an alignment job. How can you tell? If your Ram Cargo Van starts to pull left or right, when you intend on going straight, that's a great indicator that it's time for an alignment. The same feeling, especially when braking is another key sign. Your Ram mechanic in Ellwood City will be able to tell you more about it. Consult the Ram owner's manual for more information.


Batteries and Spark Plugs: Your Pentastar V6 engine is equipped with spark plugs that are essentially no-touch parts in your Ram ProMaster. Rated for a 100,000 mile lifespan, they are virtually care-free, but every so often they can go bad. Your Ellwood City Ram Service and Parts Department can offer MOPAR-Approved replacement plugs, if needed. Batteries have a life expectancy of about three years, depending on how hot the ambient temperatures are in that area. Heat typically shortens the overall life expectancy of your battery, while cold air will lessen its peak starting power. And we can't say it enough: Depending on temperatures, conditions, humidity and so forth, your mileage will definitely vary. Your Ram ProMaster Owner's Manual features a service schedule and your Ellwood City Mechanic can offer more extensive details.

A Monthly Checklist: Having a monthly to-do list and service schedule will keep your Ram ProMaster Cargo Van in top shape for continuous service on the road. Your owner's manual suggests checking the tire pressure, the engine oil level, excessive tire wear, the windshield washer fluid level. A monthly inspection of brake master cylinder fluid levels, coolant, and all interior and exterior lights will insure you are ready for a normal day's work or more. Check your Ram ProMaster Low Roof Owner's Manual for answers to any further questions.  But remember, your Ellwood City Ram professionals will always be able to help you further.
