- Boost Efficiency: Clean oil improves MPG by reducing engine drag.
- Engine Protection: Prevent damaging debris and harmful sludge buildup.
- V6 & V8 Optimization: Whether you have a Pentastar V6 or HEMI V8, quality oil is essential for reliable power and smooth idling.
Stay ahead of the curve with routine changes to keep your SUV running strong.
How Often Should I Change My Durango's Oil?
For most Dodge Durango models, oil changes are typically recommended around every 7,000 miles. However, your exact interval may vary depending on your specific driving habits, the type of oil used, and operating conditions. Always consult your owner's manual or our service team to determine the right schedule for your vehicle.
- Oil Type: Full synthetic oil is the gold standard for Durango engines, offering enhanced durability and fewer trips to the shop compared to conventional oil.
- Severe Duty: Frequent towing, idling, or short trips can shorten oil life.
- Precision Care: Each engine requires a specific viscosity (such as 0W-20 or 5W-20). We always match your Durango's needs.

What Does the Oil Life Monitoring System Check for in My Durango?
Your Durango has an Oil Life Monitoring System that tracks temperature, mileage, and driving habits to decide when your oil needs changing. Sometimes, your SUV may give warning signs before a dashboard light appears. Watch for these:
- Engine Noise: Excessive knocking or ticking sounds.
- Visual Cues: Oil that appears dark, thick, or gritty on the dipstick.
- Smell: A distinct burning oil odor inside the cabin.
- Performance: A sudden drop in fuel efficiency or a "rough" feeling while idling.
- Low Levels: Frequently needing to top off your oil between scheduled services.
If you notice any of these issues, don't wait for a dashboard light to come on. Visit us off US-29 N for a comprehensive health check.
