Essential Maintenance Tips: When to Service Your Jeep

Here’s a breakdown of crucial Jeep maintenance that you don’t want to miss, including how frequently to have each service carried out at your local Jeep dealership.

Tire Pressure Checks (Monthly)

When tires are improperly inflated, you’re put at increased risk of skids and blowouts. Frequently check to ensure the PSI in each tire is at the level recommended in your owner’s manual. 

Check All Vehicle Fluids (Monthly)

Routinely check the level and condition of your motor oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid. Top each fluid up or flush as required, and fix any leaks. 

Oil Change (Twice Yearly)

Your engine depends on fresh motor oil to run smoothly. Have your oil changed every six months, and more frequently if you do a lot of off-roading, which tends to degrade motor oil faster. 

Tire Rotation (Twice Yearly)

Have your tires rotated to mitigate uneven tire wear. This will keep your tires in good shape for longer. 

Brake Inspections (Twice Yearly)

Have your brakes professionally inspected every six months. When brake pads, rotors, or calipers are found to be worn out, have them replaced at once. 

Inspect and Test the Battery (Yearly)

Your battery will need to be checked for signs of damage and tested for conductivity strength. This becomes more important as the battery ages and also just before winter.

Replace Windshield Wipers (Yearly)

Windshield wipers usually need to be replaced after winter. You might also want to install heavy-duty wipers before winter to handle the cold and snow. 

Change Spark Plugs (Every Two Years)

Your spark plugs may need to go after two years. However, superior-quality plugs can last for much longer than this. Ask a technician how long your spark plugs are likely to last.
