2004 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"Best bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all, this car runs great.
General comments?
I think most of you intrepid owners should look on the internet for a oil and filter study. Too many people are loosing engines, and most of them are always looking in the papers for the lowest cost oil change. I read a report on oil filters this week, and I was shocked at the results of the study. the oil filters we buy in the local dealers or auto part stores are nothing but junk. Coupled with the motor oil most people buy, you damage your engines all of the time. IF you're going to own one of these modern day cars, you better look into the oil and filters you purchase for your cars. Sludge only builds up in an engine because people use cheap oil, and use it too long between oil changes, that's the simple trooth. When a person keeps the car running too long between oil changes, they wont tell the truth about it, and then complain when the engine fails. If you want the car to run a long time, start looking at the oil and filters you use in your car. You can't but a good oil filter for 3.99 at your local auto parts store, a good oil filter cost about 10.00 - 11.99 and then you are getting protection for your engine. 99 cent motor oil, on sale is not the proper oil to put in these cars.
Think about it, why should you pay 20,000 + for a car, and et a 19.99 oil change and think you did something important?
Get real folks, you get what you pay for. Stop complaing about the high cost of the repaisr, and take proper care of your car, and it will give you good service.
