Engine Oil & Filter Change - Every 10,000 Miles

One of the most common types of automotive maintenance also happens to be one of the most important. Engine oil protects internal components from harmful feat and friction, both of which can cause serious damage. Regularly changing the engine oil and oil filter according to the interval specified in your owner’s manual is a great way to keep your engine running at peak performance.

Tire Rotation - Every 10,000 Miles

Essential for maximizing the life of your tires, a tire rotation is recommended every 10,000 miles. This interval may vary based on the specific drivetrain of your vehicle. Tire rotations help prevent uneven tire wear and ensure that your tires are in good condition, two factors that can put your safety at risk when the roads get slippery due to weather.

Cabin Air Filter Replacement - Every 15,000 Miles

One important component of your vehicle’s HVAC system is called the cabin air filter. This filter is responsible for preventing harmful particles such as dust, pollen, or other debris from entering the cabin as air is drawn in from the outside. Over time, this filter can become clogged and suffer from reduced performance that can cause bad odors or disturb individuals who suffer from allergies. Replace your cabin air filter as recommended to enjoy fresh air inside your vehicle.

Engine Air Filter - Every 30,000 Miles

Similar in concept to the cabin air filter, your engine air filter helps keep debris out of the air that enters your engine. Just like your lungs, your engine functions at the highest level possible when it has fresh air. Approximately every 3 oil changes, it’s a smart idea to replace your engine air filter to maintain performance and fuel economy.

Tie Rod Ends / Boot Seals - As Necessary, Inspect at Approximately 50,000 Miles

These two suspension components should be inspected and checked for condition beginning at around 50,000 miles. Over time and through normal driving conditions, these components can wear out and lead to less-responsive steering and handling characteristics. Have these components inspected and replaced if necessary in order to preserve the driving experience you’ve come to expect from your Jeep vehicle.

Spark Plug Replacement - Every 100,000 Miles

Spark plugs play an important role in igniting the air/fuel mixture inside your engine. Over time, spark plugs do wear out and suffer from reduced performance as the miles add up. This can lead to a drop in horsepower and even reduced MPG due to dirty or out-of-spec spark plugs. Our team at Sarchione CDJR can inspect your spark plugs and provide replacements if necessary.

PCV Valve - Every 100,000 Miles

The abbreviation PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation and this small component plays a major role in your Jeep’s emissions system. Inside the engine, the PCV valve reduces harmful emissions by recirculating blow-by gasses from the crankcase into the combustion chamber. At around 100,000 miles is a good time to have your emissions system inspected and PCV value replaced if needed.

Engine Coolant Flush and/or Replacement - Every 50,000-100,000 Miles

Engine coolant has a finite lifespan and can break down over time due to heat and normal driving conditions. Approximately every 50,000 miles, you should consider a coolant flush to keep your engine running at peak performance. At 100,000 miles, your Jeep could require a full system flush and coolant replacement. Our team is standing by to provide you with recommendations and expert service when the time comes for a coolant flush or replacement.

Drive Belts and Tensioner - Every 100,000 Miles

The drive belts and tensioner on your engine are responsible for driving the electrical system including the alternator along with many other accessories like your HVAC system and power steering system. Over time, these belts can wear out due to age and mileage and require replacement. It’s always smart to be proactive about belt replacements as a failure could leave you stranded on the side of the road. Our technicians can inspect your vehicle’s drive belts and provide replacement options if required.
