Morgan Hill Dodge - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Dodge Durango
Dodge Durango drivers count on this SUV’s strength, space, and confidence every day, so a smart maintenance plan is the best way to protect performance, safety, and long-term value. Our service team in Morgan Hill, CA understands how local driving — stop-and-go commutes, weekend mountain runs, and hot summer stretches — can stress oil, tires, brakes, and cooling systems. Whether you pilot a Pentastar V6 or a HEMI® V8 — including SRT® models — we tailor care to your engine, mileage, and towing needs, using genuine Mopar parts and factory-level diagnostics. At Morgan Hill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we make it simple to stay on track with clear recommendations, transparent check-ins, and efficient appointments. The quick guide below outlines intervals that fit most model years; your Owner’s Manual is the final authority, and schedules can vary based on equipment like AWD or heavy towing. If your Durango sees dusty roads, short trips, or frequent idling, consider moving up to a severe-duty cadence. Count on us for oil and filter service, tire rotation and balancing, brake inspections, alignments, battery testing, fluid exchanges, software updates, and recall checks — all performed by certified technicians who know your vehicle inside and out. For precise, model-specific details, please contact the manufacturer or reach out to our advisors for personalized guidance.

Sticking with a routine is only half the story — catching small changes early prevents bigger repairs later. Between visits, listen for brake squeal, watch for dashboard warnings, note steering pull or vibrations, and check your oil level and tire pressures monthly. Before your appointment, jot down concerns, bring both key fobs, and remove cargo so we can access tie-downs and spare-tire tools. We’ll document findings with a straightforward inspection, review priorities, and time your visit to minimize downtime. If you tow, carpool, or drive in steep terrain near Morgan Hill, ask our team to fine-tune intervals and to offer parts options that fit your plan. We also handle warranty concerns and open recalls, and we keep your Durango’s software and service history up to date. Ready to keep your SUV performing at its best for years to come?
