What’s the best way to take care of your Jeep®? While driving carefully and keeping it clean are on this list, there’s a clear number one answer: regular maintenance. If you’re not sure what this Jeep service should entail, this guide provides some insight.
What Service Does My Jeep Need?
There are several tasks you need to have done for your Jeep routinely, including:
Fluid Checks – All the systems of your cars that use fluids need to be topped off or flushed every few months.
Tire Pressure Checks – For safety purposes – and for better gas mileage – the air in your tires needs to be at the right level.
Oil Changes – For your engine to run as efficiently as possible, it always needs to use clean oil.
Tire Rotations – Rotating the tires improves their performance and enables them to have a long lifespan.
Battery Tests – Testing the battery lets you know how much charge it has left.
Brake Inspections – Brake components wear down over time, so the system needs to be examined.
When Does My Jeep Need Service?
Because fluids can get used up, they should be checked – and topped off if necessary – every few months. Checking the air in your tires should also be done frequently. The oil needs to be changed about every six months, even if you don’t do a lot of driving. The same is true for rotating the tires. It’s a smart idea to have both your battery and brakes inspected at least yearly.
What Happens if I Skip Service?
In addition to poor performance, the parts in your Jeep will wear down a lot faster if you don’t get regular service. Eventually, you could face a very big and costly repair or replacement that could’ve been avoided with basic maintenance.
