In a perfect world, you should get a Jeep® oil change about every three months or 5,000 miles. But there are signs to look for that indicate oil changes are required more frequently. At Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Asheville our service technicians are specially trained to provide an oil change for your Jeep.
Dirty Oil
Ideally, you want to be sure your oil is clean. Clean oil is amber or light brown and clear. Oil that is black or dark brown or appears to contain dirt needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Engine Noise
When your Jeep is in operation, performance is assured by the lubricating properties of the oil. Hearing clicks, rumbles or booms indicates your oil may have evaporated and replenishment is necessary.
Exhaust Smoke
If your Jeep is leaking oil, it burns along with fuel as your vehicle is running. Burnt oil will create dark smoke emanating from your exhaust pipe. Not only should you get the leak repaired, but you should also schedule a fresh oil change once repairs are complete.
Odd or Noxious Odors
An oily or burning smell in the cabin indicates leaking oil. Have a Jeep service technician check your vehicle engine and replace the oil if recommended.
Check Engine Light
The purpose of the check engine light is to warn you when something is wrong. At times, it means your engine oil level is too low. If the check engine light is illuminated, take your Jeep to a Jeep dealership for a diagnostic check.
