The Dodge Challenger is the classic American muscle car, a vehicle that will tear up the roads with its sheer power and punishing performance. Keeping it reliable for many years to come, however, means staying on top of the regular, routine maintenance required. If you’re wondering what’s required and when, check out this overview of the 2023 Dodge Challenger maintenance schedule and keep your car running like the first day you drove it off the lot.
2023 Dodge Challenger Maintenance Schedule
The absolute best way to stay on top of your regular routine preventative maintenance for a 2023 Dodge Challenger is to check your owner’s manual. This manual includes a complete breakdown of everything that has to be done, and at what mileage intervals and yearly intervals – usually whichever comes first. Here’s an overview and quick reference.
Regular Oil Changes
The core of the Dodge Challenger maintenance is regular oil changes. These should be performed roughly once a year or roughly every 10,000 miles, though your vehicle has an oil monitoring system which will let you know with an indicator light when it’s time. At every oil change you should also have the oil filter changed, and inspect the battery, CV joints, brakes, engine coolant, exhaust, and air filter.
Every 20,000 Miles
At every 20,000 miles or every two years, you should have the front suspension, axle fluid, and transmission fluid checked. You should also the parking brake adjusted if your Challenger has four-wheel disc brakes.
Every 60,000 Miles
At 60,000 miles you’ll also want to have the transfer case fluid checked and changes. This is generally only necessary if you have an AWD version of the Challenger.
At 100,000 Miles
At 100,000 miles it’s time to check and replace your PCV valves. You’ll also want your engine coolant flushed and replaced. You should also change your transmission fluid and spark plugs. Once again, at every one of these intervals you will also want to do all the standard maintenance that comes with a regular oil change.
Also, at certain intervals your local service center will want to check your various belts and hoses to make sure they are all still in good working order. Like any piece of technology or equipment, these wear down over time and will need to be updated to make sure the car still runs smoothly.
