At Griffin Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, we know that your Jeep Wrangler isn’t just a car, it’s an investment. To keep it running as long as possible, you need to keep it regularly serviced at the recommended intervals.
Here are some tips for keeping your Jeep Wrangler alive and running.
Regular Oil Changes
Keeping to a regular schedule of oil changes is possibly the most important regular service task for your Jeep Wrangler.
For ages, the advice has been to get your oiled changed every 3,000 miles. However, more recent advances in synthetic lubricants have led to updated advice. It is now recommended that you get your oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Fresh oil keeps the engine running at its peak efficiency, reduces wear and tear on its parts, and ultimately improves your gas mileage.
Seasonal Service Checks
Beyond oil changes, you’ll want to check and test your battery and battery terminals. You should also clean and lubricate all your locks, replace your weather stripping as needed, and change your transmission and rear differential oil.
Long-Term Service
There are further mileage milestones to keep in mind as you schedule your Jeep Wrangler’s long-term maintenance. There are a range of service tasks to keep on top of as your vehicle reaches the 20,000-, 40,000- and 60,000-mile marks.
Here’s a selection of key components and systems you’ll need to check and/or have replaced:
- air filter
- brake lines and hoses
- inspect transmission
- inspect all steering components
- inspect exhaust components
- inspect ball joints and dust covers
When you get to these service milestones, be sure and schedule a service visit at Griffin Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM today!
