What other kinds of service would I need to get done fora 2000 Dodge Durango with 50k miles besides the usualy 3k/3month oil change?

 

aside from purchasing an extended warranty ( only 1/2 kidding ), I believe you need your fuel injectors thoroughly cleaned at 60k ( at least with California emissions )

 

Fuel injector cleanings is kinda a racket, all we do is force some techron through the fuel rail, just go buy some and pour it in your tank. You should have had plugs done once already and your due again, I'd also do cap,rotor,wires. The trans needs servicing, not flushing like a lot of places are doing. Actually drop the pan and change the filter. Air filter, drivetrain fluids(tcase and diffs)

 

If your still doing 3k/3 month oil changes, your still in the stone age. That is the biggest waste of oil. With most decent petroleum oils can run 5000 miles with zero problems: http://amsoil.com/lit/lng_article/index.htm

Things to consider besides the regular tune-up are transmission service, replace your gear lube, check your belts and hoses etc .

If you want to improve your engines efficiency, a good gasoline additive is www.lubecontrol.com , synthetic oil is another plus.

Bill,

 

Yeah, I'm 100% convinced that synthetic oil is by far the best for a person's car or truck. I'm watching the Mobil 1 vs. Amsoil test (on another thread) with a great deal of interest! So far, it's almost a dead heat, but Amsoil does hold a lead in one important area....[sm=smiley9.gif]
