Jeep Maintenance Schedule and Checklist

I just took my 2018 Wrangler in for its first oil change at 15k miles. Mechanic said I was due for a timing belt replacement but my owner's manual didn't mention it until 105k miles. Has anyone else had this issue with their Jeep?

Great thread guys! Just wanted to chime in with my own experience. For my '07 Wrangler, I stick to the manufacturer's recommended schedule every 5k miles, and also add a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain every year or so.

Great thread! For those planning to follow a maintenance schedule, I highly recommend referencing your owner's manual or contacting a local dealership for specific guidelines tailored to your vehicle's model year and mileage. Additionally, consider using online resources like RepairPal for personalized maintenance recommendations.

I've been using my '07 Wrangler for years and I just had my engine blown due to neglecting the maintenance schedule. A well-maintained vehicle is not only safer but also runs smoother. Here's a suggested checklist based on the owner's manual: * Oil changes every 5,000 miles * Tire rotation every 3,000-6,000 miles * Brake pads inspected and replaced every 30,000-50,000 miles * Spark plugs replaced every 30,000-100,000 miles * Air filter replaced every 15,000-30,000 miles I also use a maintenance app on my phone to track the due dates. It's not that hard to keep up with it, and it'll save you from expensive repairs down the line. Some people claim that Jeeps are more reliable than other vehicles, but I've found that's not always true. Take care of your rig, and it'll take care of you.

I've been using my 2015 Wrangler for years and I have to say that following a regular maintenance schedule has been key in keeping it running smoothly. I recommend checking your owner's manual for specific guidelines but generally speaking, oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles, tire pressure checks monthly, and fluid checks every 15,000-30,000 miles are a good starting point. Additionally, don't forget to inspect your belts and hoses regularly, as well as your suspension system for any signs of wear. Stay on top of it and your Jeep will reward you with years of trouble-free driving!
