Figuring Out Your Maintenance Schedule

While you don't have to be a certified technician to know that you're vehicle needs servicing, it's still important to understand some of the many services and maintenance practices that your Dodge Journey requires over the years. Below, you'll see your maintenance schedule. You'll notice that there are listed mileages and the services that they correspond with. When you reach these mileages, you'll need to have the serviced performed. You should also know that whenever you add these miles onto your vehicle's odometer, you'll need to have those services repeated.

Your Dodge Journey Maintenance Schedule

10,000 Miles. Once you hit this mileage, it's time for the most common form of automotive service: the oil change. On top of the oil and filter change, you'll need to have your fluid levels checked, your tires rotated, and your battery inspected.

20,000 Miles. When you reach 20,000 miles, there are a few services to add to the ones that are listed above. During this service appointment, you'll want to have your air conditioning filter replaced while you have your brake system and suspension inspected.

30,000 Miles. At the 30,000-mile mark, you'll have a few services that you'll need to include with your next visit. You should have the engine air filter replaced, and if you have a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, this is the time to change your spark plugs. On top of the many components to inspect, you'll want to add a CV joint inspection to the list.

60,000 Miles. While 60,000 miles may seem like a bit of a jump, everything before this checkpoint is repeated maintenance. At this mileage, though, you'll want to replace some important fluids from your automatic transmission (if you're towing a lot), your rear drive assembly, and your power transfer unit. 

100,000 Miles. Once you've reached this mileage, you'll have some major services that must be performed. If you've got a 3.6L V6 engine, this is the point where you have the spark plugs replaced. You should also have your coolant flushed and replaced, and your PCV valve inspected and replaced, if necessary.

120,000 Miles. If you haven't used your Dodge Journey for towing, this is the point where you change your automatic transmission fluid and filter.
