Q: How Often Should I Check My Chrysler Vehicle’s Fluid Levels?
A: Your car has a number of important fluids, such as engine oil, coolant, windshield wiper wash, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and more. You should ensure that these liquids are replenished monthly, before taking any long trips.
Q: Does my Chrysler Car Need New Spark Plugs?
A: If your engine has problems starting, your gas tank is quickly draining, and your car is slow to accelerate, you probably need new spark plugs. Check this part approximately every 30,000 miles.
Q: How Much Air Pressure Do My Tires Need?
A: Appropriate air pressure levels depend on your specific vehicle and type of tire. The recommended levels are usually listed on the vehicle sticker or in the driver’s manual.
The max PSI (pounds/square inch) suggested for your tire can also be found on the sidewall of your tire, but a general rule of thumb for most cars is between 32-35 PSI.
Q: When Should I Replace My Brake Pads?
A: Brake pads should be replaced every 30,000-70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. If your brakes are screeching, grinding, or vibrating, you should get their pads replaced. A burning odor is also a telltale sign that your brake pads are worn out.
Q: Are Tire Rotations Really Necessary?
A: Actually, yes! This service task greatly extends the lifetime of your tires, and unevenly worn tires can have extremely adverse effects on both your vehicle’s performance and your wallet. Put this in your maintenance schedule approximately once every six months.
