Jeep Cherokee Service Interval

How Often Should I Service My Jeep Cherokee?

Although your Jeep Cherokee is rugged and durable by nature, it still needs regular care and maintenance to run at its best. Routine maintenance can help the parts on your car last longer and, in turn, maximize your car's longevity. It can also detect problems earlier on before they become worse and leave you with more costly repairs. To ensure your Jeep stays in top shape, consult your owner's manual for the most precise Jeep Cherokee maintenance schedule. The owner's manual has Jeep Cherokee service intervals recommended by the manufacturer for optimal vehicle safety and performance.

20,000-Mile Service

Your Jeep Cherokee will be due for its first comprehensive mileage-based inspection at 20,000 miles. Before this point, it just needs an oil change and tire rotation about every 5,000 miles. By the time your Jeep reaches 20,000 miles, it should have the brakes and mechanical components checked. This includes the CV joints and universal joints and the boot seals and suspension system in the front end. A mechanic will inspect the braking system, including the brake linings, along with the parking brake. The cabin air filter will likely be changed at 20,000 miles too.

30,000-Mile Service

Since the 20,000-mile service schedule is fairly comprehensive, your Jeep will require fewer services at 30,000 miles. However, it's still important to bring your car in to have the essentials checked. Your Jeep may need to have the engine air filter replaced if it's clogged or dirty, which can keep the engine performing at its best. The oil may be changed, and the tires may be rotated, too.

60,000-Mile Service

The main service performed at 60,000 miles is a spark plug replacement. If your Jeep has a 2.0L engine, your mechanic will change the spark plugs based on the vehicle's mileage rather than its age. The Jeep's battery may also be tested to ensure it is still strong.

100,000-Mile Service

When your car reaches 100,000 miles on the odometer, it will be due for an additional list of services. The spark plugs will be checked and replaced at 100,000 miles if they have not been changed yet. If your Jeep has a 2.4L or a 3.2L engine, its spark plugs are changed according to mileage instead of yearly intervals. The coolant fluid will be changed at 100,000 miles, and the PCV valve will be inspected and replaced.
