Jeep Wrangler: SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE / SCHEDULED SERVICING — GASOLINE ENGINE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

On vehicles equipped with instrument cluster display, “Oil Change Required” will be displayed and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

On non-instrument cluster display equipped vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the instrument cluster odometer and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than an authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under Instrument Cluster Display for further information.

NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet customers.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the windshield washer fluid level.
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage, rotate at the first sign of irregular wear.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power steering, and fill as needed.
• Check the function of all interior and exterior lights.

MAINTENANCE PLAN

Refer to the maintenance plan for the required maintenance intervals.

NOTE:

Using white lithium grease, lubricate the door hinge joints twice a year to prevent premature wear.

1. The spark plug change interval is mileage based only; yearly intervals do not apply.
