Quick Reference Maintenance Checklist

Dodge Durango Service: 5,000 to 10,000 Miles or One Year

The baseline maintenance visit for your Dodge Durango establishes its long term performance footprint. While the integrated oil life management monitoring system prompts an alert dynamically based on driving habits, intervals must not pass 10,000 miles or a full year. Certified Mopar technicians oversee these primary tasks:

Service Windows Matched to Driving Behavior

• Regular Operation: Standard everyday travel and highway trips require attention between 7,500 and 10,000 miles.
• Demanding Conditions: Pulling heavy loads, commercial idling, or handling dusty environments drops the timeframe to 5,000 up to 8,000 miles.

Core Upkeep Elements

• Lubrication service utilizing premium synthetic oil and fresh Mopar filtration components.
• Full tire positioning rotation to promote even wear across all four positions.
• Comprehensive battery diagnostic testing alongside terminal cleaning.
• Detailed analysis of stopping components including calipers, lines, pads, and rotors.

Maintaining this sequence keeps your muscle SUV operating safely and dependably across varying Midwestern seasonal shifts.

Durango Service: 20,000 Miles or Two Years

Reaching this checkpoint moves the mechanical focus toward passenger comfort systems and active underside parts. This scheduled appointment carries forward the baseline 10,000 mile checkups while integrating additional assignments:

• Installing a fresh cabin ventilation element to capture outside dust and allergens.
• Front suspension link inspection to guarantee your steering geometry stays precise.
• Constant Velocity universal joint boot checks to verify there are no grease fluid leaks.
• Heavy duty brake shoe and lining measurements to monitor ongoing stopping power.

Durango Service: 30,000 Miles or Three Years

At this point, mechanical priorities pivot to engine respiration and underhood component fluid stability:

• Replacement of the primary engine air induction filter to maintain acceleration responses and fuel economy numbers.
• Thorough transfer case lubrication check to preserve internal components on active all wheel drive configurations.
• Front and rear differential axle fluid inspections, which protect driving gears during rigorous towing scenarios.

Durango Service: 60,000 to 100,000 Miles or Six Years

This represents a major milestone for long range mechanical endurance:

• New spark plug installation to retain ideal fuel ignition properties and eliminate acceleration drops.
• Transfer case lubricant replacement to satisfy demands on models configured with heavy duty drivetrain options.
• Serpentine accessory belt evaluation to watch for physical tracking degradation.
• Refreshing both environmental cabin elements and internal motor intake filters.
