What to Know About 2008 Dodge Avenger Scheduled Maintenance
You want your Dodge Avenger to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Avenger has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Avenger maintenance. Just follow your 2008 Dodge Avenger maintenance schedule!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Dodge themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Avenger's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2008 Dodge Avenger problems.
Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Dodge Avenger Running Newer, Longer
Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2008 Dodge Avenger for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Avenger’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Could your 2008 Dodge Avenger be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Avenger may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge Avenger battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Dodge Avenger won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2008 Dodge Avenger running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2008 Avenger. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2008 Dodge Avenger.
Periodic service to the steering system in your Dodge Avenger can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Dodge Avenger suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Avenger's steering system with regular maintenance.
If you fall behind on routine Dodge Avenger maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Dodge Avenger’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Dodge Avenger radiator? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2008 Dodge Avenger maintenance.

What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Dodge Avenger? You know your Dodge Avenger better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
When does my Dodge Avenger need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Dodge Avenger engines.
Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Dodge? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Dodge Avenger in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
