Vehicles naturally come with responsibilities and upkeeps. This is especially true for Jeep Wranglers, specifically if you use yours for off-roading adventures. Here are five Jeep maintenance tips every owner should know and perform on their Wrangler.
-
Keep it Clean
One of the easiest and best things you can do for your Jeep is to get regular washes. It’s recommended you get a wash at least once a month. You can either get a wash done at a carwash or you can do it yourself. Your Jeep Wrangler is bound to be dirty after hitting the off-roading trails, and you want to prevent rust. Get all your
Jeep Wrangler’s exterior accessories cleaned up, and make sure you also get the undercarriage of the vehicle cleaned too.
-
Replace Air Filter
Not changing your Jeep’s filter can result in all sorts of problems. If you take your Jeep off-roading, you definitely want to get it replaced due to all the dust. A new filter should be replaced at least every 12,000 miles. Changing your air filter regularly can help your engine run smoothly, help with gas mileage, and reduce emissions.
-
Get an Oil Change
Another Jeep maintenance tip that should be on your radar is to get an oil change every 3,000 miles. This keeps your Jeep’s engine lubricated so all the parts can move properly. An oil change also gets rid of any particles in your engine that come from off-roading. The great thing about oil changes is they can easily be done on your own at an affordable price.
-
Check Your Tires
Your tires are another critical part of your Jeep that deserves your utmost attention. Off-roading is tough on your vehicle, so make sure you get your wheels aligned every couple of years and keep an eye on the tire pressure. Also, get your tires rotated at least every 5,000 miles. Completing necessary tire upkeep will ensure your Jeep can handle the roads and trails.
-
Add Fluids
There are a few fluids you need to look out for to keep your Jeep running smoothly. These important fluids include:
- Engine Oil
- Brake
