Named after its hemispherical combustion chamber, the HEMI engine is perfect for high-performance vehicles, offering incredible horsepower and torque. The precision engineering means that it's even more essential to schedule regular Dodge HEMI maintenance at your local dealership. Prioritize the Cooling System All HEMI engines have a tendency to run hot, even when they're operating efficiently, so keeping up with routine maintenance on the cooling system is important. Towing, cruising at high speeds, and idling can especially push the engine temperature higher. Regularly checking and topping off coolant levels is a simple way to help minimize heat. You should also have a complete coolant flush when the manufacturer recommends, typically every 3–5 years. If the thermostat is providing inconsistent readings, it should be replaced promptly, as being able to gauge an accurate temperature is vital. The dealership should also carry out regular inspections on the radiator, hoses, and water pump. more Don't Skip Oil Changes Oil is critical to the performance of every engine, but if oil levels drop low in a HEMI engine, there is a much higher risk of damage to key components such as the camshaft and lifter roller. The Multi-Displacement System (MDS) can also struggle when there's insufficient or dirty oil, increasing fuel consumption. As well as ensuring the oil is regularly topped off and changed when due, it's also advisable to use the oil recommended in your handbook. HEMI engines benefit from full synthetic oil that's designed for high performance. This can also prevent the valve train from developing a bothersome ticking noise that could mask a serious problem. Regular Checks on Spark Plugs There are typically 16 spark plugs in a HEMI engine, which means that the service intervals may be different from previous vehicles that you've owned. With two plugs per cylinder, the HEMI engine combusts cleanly, but the spark plugs need to be in good condition for it to run efficiently. If the spark plugs start to wear or become dirty, you'll quickly notice your engine starting to misfire or an overall loss of power. Check with your dealership or consult your handbook to find out how often your spark plugs need to be changed. The recommendations can vary between different engines and also between different types of spark plugs, such as copper, iridium, or platinum. Schedule Regular Dodge HEMI Maintenance at Your Local Dealership Your local Dodge dealership can carry out all the maintenance that your vehicle requires, as well as provide professional advice. Whether you think you might need a repair or you just want a routine service, the Dodge dealership has the expertise to help.

Dodge is known for high-performance muscle cars that rule the track and keep you safe at the same time. They are also known for their commitment to your safety off the track. Depending on your model, you have numerous standard and available safety features that protect you by providing the equivalent of additional eyes and ears to monitor the area around you. As your Dodge dealer, we want to tell you about some of these safety features. From Your Dodge Dealer: A Closer Look at Dodge Safety Features ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera Take the stress out of reversing and make parallel a breeze with this system. When you shift into reverse, the camera displays a digital view of the area immediately behind you in real-time. Grid lines appear on the screen to guide you and ensure a hassle-free and perfect reverse every time. more Blind Spot Monitoring With Rear Cross Path Traffic Detection Sensors are installed on the rear sides of your Dodge to monitor the neighboring lanes. This makes changing lanes safer than ever as they scan for approaching vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, the system provides visual and audio alerts so you can take action and avoid an accident. The cross-path feature uses sensors that watch directly behind you for any vehicle entering from left or right when you reverse. If the system identifies movement behind you, you'll hear a warning sound, giving you enough time to hit the brakes and avoid a collision. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking Radar is used to watch the area directly in front of you for other vehicles. If a vehicle is detected, this system assesses the two vehicle's speeds and distance and provides audio and visual warnings if you get too close. These warnings give you time to steer away or brake to prevent an accident. If a collision is imminent, the system can apply hard braking to bring you to an instant stop. Automatic High Beam Headlights High beams are essential for night driving, particularly if you're in a dimly lit area or a country road. They allow you to see further and clearer, so you can drive with greater peace of mind. While they make it easier for you to see, they can blind drivers in front of you or approaching from the opposite direction. Sensors in the headlight can register the tail lights of a vehicle ahead or the headlight of an oncoming vehicle. In either situation, your headlights are immediately switched to low beams. They'll automatically switch to high beams again once the lights are no longer visible. These are just a few of the safety systems you'll find in a Dodge.
