I’ve had my 2.4L engine for a few years now. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles are crucial, and don’t forget to check the coolant levels too. It really makes a difference!
Absolutely! I also found that using a good quality oil filter extends the engine’s life. It’s all about those small details!

Fluid checks should be your best friends, especially for the transmission fluid. Make sure you’re using Dexron VI; it can save you from major headaches later on.

Let’s not forget the spark plugs! They should be replaced regularly. A good set can make a significant difference in performance.
For sure! I started swapping them out every 30,000 miles and it’s really worth the peace of mind!
Does anyone have tips for the timing chain? I’ve heard mixed opinions about maintenance routines. It seems daunting!

Timing chain? Just keep an eye on your oil changes! It’s not as scary as people make it seem. Just stay on top of your maintenance.
