FAQs About Service at Lithia Chrysler Jeep of Reno

Lithia Chrysler Jeep of Reno is proud to make vehicle maintenance and repairs as relaxing as possible. If you have additional questions or concerns not listed below, please contact us online, over the phone, or at our service center in Reno, NV.

How often do I need an oil change for my car, truck, van, or SUV?

For accurate oil change intervals, we encourage drivers to contact our service center, refer to their Owner's Manual, or follow their integrated Oil Life Monitor. While recommendations vary by engine, oil type, and operating conditions, most vehicles have a recommended synthetic oil change interval of every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first.

What's different between synthetic oil and conventional oil?

Conventional oil is created by refining crude oil from the ground, while synthetic oil is chemically modified using a petroleum product such as mineral oil or natural gas. Compared to conventional oil, synthetic oil provides improved protection in extreme temperatures, additives that prevent oxidation, fewer impurities that lead to sludge buildup, and enhanced lubrication of internal components with tight tolerances.

When do I need to replace my vehicle's battery?

12V accessory batteries don't have a specific replacement interval, with most lead-acid batteries lasting up to 5 years and AGM batteries lasting up to 7 years. If your vehicle is experiencing difficulties starting in cold weather or you've needed a jump start recently, our team can provide a comprehensive battery inspection to determine an estimated health percentage.

Why does my vehicle need a tire rotation?

Tire rotations help you prevent uneven tire wear, maximize longevity, and optimize handling. Tire rotations work by swapping tires between the left and right sides and the front and rear axles. Most vehicles have a recommended tire rotation interval of every 6 months or whenever you receive an oil change.

When should I get new tires for my vehicle?

Tires often need to be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 miles when following proper maintenance intervals, depending on the type of tire and your operating conditions near Fallon. Some high-performance or winter tires with softer rubber compounds may require replacement as soon as every 30,000 miles.

How can I tell when my brakes need to be changed?

Some of the signs of worn-out brakes that you may experience near Carson City include metallic squealing, grinding, or whirring noises. In addition, you may need to have your brakes inspected if you hear a knock when hitting the brake pedal, your brake pedal feels soft, you need to apply additional brake pressure to slow down, or your braking distance is longer than anticipated.

Do brake pads and rotors need to be replaced together?

For maximum longevity and performance, your brake pads and rotors should be replaced at the same time. Brake rotors can develop grooves, cracks, or warping that reduce the surface area your brake pads can grip onto.

What is a brake fluid flush and why does it matter?

Brake fluid flushes are encouraged every 3 years or 30,000 miles to help you maintain optimal safety and reliability. Brake fluid is a special hydraulic fluid that naturally absorbs moisture from the air, leading to reduced brake pressure, potential corrosion, or the risk of sudden failure if left unattended.

How often do I need to change my air filters?

Engine air filters and cabin air filters have a recommended replacement interval of around every 12,000 miles or once a year. If you frequently drive in dusty conditions near Winnemucca, you may need to replace your air filters more often.

Do I need to get my vehicle inspected in Nevada?

Nevada requires annual vehicle emissions testing for drivers in Washoe County and Reno, NV. 1968 model year and newer cars, trucks, RVs, and motorhomes are required to have an emissions test if they are gasoline-powered (regardless of weight and size) or diesel-powered with a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds or less. Hybrid models are exempt for up to five years, and new vehicles are exempt for their first three registrations.

What is an engine coolant flush?

Engine coolant flushes help protect your vehicle against excessive heat, corrosion, and sediment buildup as you cruise around Sparks. Coolant replacements are recommended around every 30,000 miles or 3 years for optimal reliability and performance.

How do I prepare for my next service appointment?

After scheduling your next appointment online or over the phone, you'll need to gather any documents that apply to your next service, take note of any issues or symptoms that are concerning, and make sure your vehicle is as clean as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our service center to speak with an advisor.
