Regular maintenance is essential to keep your Jeep SUV running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Taking care of it will ensure that the SUV performs at its peak and extend its service life. It will also save you the money you would otherwise have to spend on expensive repairs. Follow these maintenance tips from our Victor Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram team to get the most out of your SUV.
Your SUV’s engine has several moving parts that rub against one another. Engine oil helps lubricate these components, reducing heat, wear, and friction. With time, this oil degrades or becomes contaminated with dirt and dust, which affects its lubricating abilities. Regular oil changes ensure the engine gets a fresh supply of clean oil for optimal lubrication. This will improve your SUV’s fuel efficiency and protect the engine from damage. Jeep recommends changing your engine oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
The tires are the only part of the SUV that come in contact with the ground. For safety and impressive performance on and off the road, you must ensure that your SUV’s tires are in excellent condition. So, check your tires for signs of cuts, bulges, or uneven wear to know if they are still in great shape or need replacement. It is also good to check your tire pressure occasionally and keep them at the appropriate levels for safe driving. Another important tire maintenance task is tire rotation. Rotating the position of your tires ensures balanced handling and traction on the road.
Good brakes allow you to stop your SUV correctly and keep you out of trouble. Having your brakes inspected will help you detect brake issues and fix them before they become worse. Let our experienced mechanics check your brake pads, rotors, and discs at least every six months so you can drive safely and confidently.
Apart from engine oil, your Jeep SUV uses other fluids, like transmission, brake, coolant, and power steering fluids. When the levels of these fluids are too low, it can cause mechanical problems and affect your SUV’s overall performance. It is good to check these fluids regularly and fill them back up when low. If you notice any leakage or change in the color or texture of these fluids, take your SUV to our repair shop as soon as possible.
You also want to take good care of your battery to prevent breakdowns. Clean the battery regularly to remove dirt, grease, dust, or any other particle that can lead to corrosion. Park the SUV in the shade or garage when not in use to protect the battery, as too much heat can cause battery acid to shorten its lifespan.
