Jeep Wrangler Maintenance Schedule

 

The Jeep Wrangler was made for adventurous, off-road driving here in the Mount Pocono and Tobyhanna areas and beyond. However, after thousands of miles, that adventure may start to take its toll.

To keep their Wranglers running strong for years and years, Scranton, Stroudsburg, and East Stroudsburg area drivers need to heed the Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule.

The Ray Price Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram team is going to go over it with you now.

Jeep Wrangler Oil Change Interval

One of the biggest conveniences of the Jeep Wrangler is that it comes with an oil change indicator system to let you know whenever standard maintenance is due.

Depending on how hard you drive your vehicle, this should only be about 7,500 miles.

During this appointment, you should change your engine oil and oil filter. Tire rotation and balancing should also be completed to ensure even wear and extended tire life.

Additional Oil Change Interval Maintenance

Changing your oil is the key task when this light turns on. Jeep also recommends inspecting the following items:

1. Inspect the battery and clean or tighten terminals
2. Inspect the entire brake system
3. Lubricate door latches
4. Inspect the engine air filter
5. Inspect the exhaust system
6. Check cooling system hoses and protection
7. Check transmission fluid

Every 20,000 Miles

In addition to regular service, complete the following at 20,000 miles:

• Replace cabin and air conditioning filters
• Check transfer case fluid
• Inspect CV and universal joints
• Inspect front suspension and tie rod ends
• Inspect brake linings and parking brake
• Check front and rear axle fluid

Every 40,000 Miles

If your Wrangler is used for towing or off-roading, front and rear axle fluid service may be required. Cabin and A/C filters are also typically due for replacement.

Every 60,000 Miles

Transfer case fluid should be changed at this interval, especially for vehicles that tow or drive off-road. Manual and automatic transmission fluids should also be serviced.

Every 100,000 Miles

Inspect belts for wear and replace as needed. Inspect and replace the PCV valve if necessary.

Every 150,000 Miles

Replace the accessory drive belt and inspect the belt tensioner and pulley. Engine coolant should be flushed and replaced every 10 years or 150,000 miles.

Why Following the Maintenance Schedule Matters

Keeping up with your Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule helps protect your investment, extend vehicle life, and reduce the risk of costly repairs.

Regular oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, and fluid checks also help maintain safety, reliability, and resale value, as noted by Kelley Blue Book.

Regular Maintenance Checks to Do at Home

Simple at-home checks can help keep your Wrangler running smoothly between service visits.

• Check tire pressure and tread condition
• Inspect engine oil, brake fluid, and washer fluid
• Look for leaks or worn belts and hoses
• Check lights, wipers, and battery terminals

Faqs

What are signs my Jeep Wrangler may need service sooner than expected?
Unusual noises, vibrations, warning lights, reduced fuel efficiency, or changes in handling can all indicate it's time for service. If something feels off, it's better to have it checked rather than wait for the next scheduled interval.

What type of tires should I get for my Jeep Wrangler?
Jeep Wranglers are typically equipped with all-season tires, which are designed to handle a range of road conditions. Summer tires may offer improved traction in warm, dry conditions but aren't intended for cold weather. Snow tires are recommended if you want extra stability in the winter since they provide better grip and control when temperatures drop.

Should I use synthetic oil in my Jeep Wrangler?
Yes, most modern Jeep Wranglers are designed to use synthetic oil. Synthetic oil helps provide better engine protection in extreme temperatures, supports smoother performance, and can help maintain efficiency between oil changes. Always follow the oil type recommended for your specific Wrangler model and engine.
