Why Does Your RAM Need Regular Maintenance?

Like any truck, keeping your RAM in good condition requires some time and effort. Making sure you’re on top of routine maintenance is key to reducing accident risk, getting better gas mileage, and increasing your vehicle’s overall performance. Here are 4 of the most important things to do and how our experienced mechanics at Westgate Cars can help.  

 
Top 4 Routine Maintenance Tasks for Your RAM 

1. Change the Oil
Oil lubricates your engine parts as they move, which reduces friction and heat that can damage your vehicle's interior components. Driving with low or contaminated oil isn’t a risk you want to take. 

 
When you have a complete RAM oil change in Raleigh, your old oil is drained and safely disposed of. The dirty oil filter is swapped out with a clean one, and your reservoir is filled with up to 5 quarts of quality synthetic, synthetic-blend, or high-mileage oil. 

2. Check Your Battery 
Over time, batteries can degrade and hold less charge. Checking your battery regularly can prevent waking up to a truck that doesn’t start. 

 
As a top provider of RAM battery service in Raleigh, we offer: 

• Battery load testing
• Battery replacement
• Battery installation

3. Rotate the Tires
Your vehicle’s tires are among its most critical components. Rotating and balancing them keeps the tread wear even, reducing the risk of accidents and creating a smooth ride. 

 
Westgate Cars offers comprehensive RAM tire service in Raleigh, so you can be confident that your truck is always ready for the road.

4. Service Your Brakes 
As you drive, your truck’s brake pads naturally wear down and need to be replaced. During your RAM brake service in Raleigh, our team of qualified mechanics will also drain your old brake fluid, flush out your lines, and resurface the rotors and drums. Before your service is complete, we add new fluid and check to make sure everything is working properly.

 
When Does My RAM Need Maintenance?
