Jeep Wrangler Service Intervals

What is the Jeep Wrangler Maintenance Schedule?

The Jeep Wrangler is known for being one of the toughest SUVs on the road. While the Wrangler can put up with quite a bit, it also needs to have service periodically to ensure it is in prime working condition. It's also essential to keep up with recommended Jeep Wrangler service intervals if you spend considerable amounts of time off-roading and in the elements to look for problems like rust and wear and tear.

15,000-Mile Service

Although maintenance varies slightly by model year, the Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule generally begins with a complete service appointment at 15,000 miles. When the Wrangler goes in for its first service appointment, it will need the oil changed again and a new engine filter installed. These routine services should be repeated every 7,500 miles. A professional Jeep mechanic will also evaluate the condition of the Wrangler's tires to make sure they are not worn out. Headlights and wiper blades are inspected for safety as well.

30,000-Mile Service

The second significant Jeep service appointment happens at 30,000 miles. During this appointment, the Wrangler has some additional services performed. The Jeep's cabin air filter is replaced, and it will get another engine filter to prevent debris from contaminating the fuel lines. A complete brake inspection is performed, including an examination of the brakes, pads, and lines. The wiring is evaluated for rust and corrosion. The Wrangler's doors and hinges are evaluated for rust and lubricated to ensure they don't develop rust and corrosion. A professional Jeep technician will balance and rotate the tires as needed. The exhaust system is also checked.

60,000-Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, the Jeep Wrangler will get the engine and fuel filters changed again. The transfer case fluid is usually changed at 60,000 miles, especially if you use the Wrangler frequently for towing. The universal and CV joints are inspected. A Jeep technician may also look at the condition of the tie rod ends and front suspension. Axle fluid is checked in front and back, and a mechanic will also look at the parking brake and the Wrangler's brake linings.

90,000-Mile Service

The Wrangler will get another check-up at 90,000 miles. The Jeep should have the axle fluid in front and rear topped off or flushed. The Jeep is also due for a flush of the automatic and manual transmission fluids at this time. The Jeep's spark plugs will be changed, and it may also get a new PCV valve.
