2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual - SCHEDULED SERVICING



SCHEDULED SERVICING

Scheduled Servicing — Non-SRT

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

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indi- cator 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, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

An authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled oil change.

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.

Severe Duty All Models

Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) or 350 hours of engine run time if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off-road environment, or is operated predominantly at idle or only very low engine RPM. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

    Check engine oil level
    Check windshield washer fluid level
    Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
    Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder and fill as needed
    Check function of all interior and exterior lights

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

Change engine oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) or 350 hours of engine run time if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine RPM. This type of vehicle use is consid- ered Severe Duty.

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or mileages specified to protect the vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.

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

The instrument cluster display will display an “Oil Change Required” message and a single chime will sound, indicating that an oil change is necessary.

Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indi- cator message will illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

NOTE:

    The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change your vehicle's oil if it has been six months since your last oil change, even if the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
    Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.
    Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first.

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 your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further infor- mation.

At Each Stop For Fuel

    Check the engine oil level. Refer to “Engine Compart- ment” in this section for further information.
    Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

Once A Month

    Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
    Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
    Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, engine oil, brake master cylinder, and add as needed.
    Check all lights and other electrical items for correct oper- ation.

At Each Oil Change

    Change the engine oil filter.
    Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
    Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
