Picked this up from my dealer when I got my last oil change. I'm at 32k so I asked about scheduled maintenance events. They handed me this.


No need to spend 500 bucks on stuff I'm more than capable of doing. But I'm looking for some reference about the first thing on the list regarding suspension, driveline, and steering. Anyone know what needs to be done?

That's the dealer trying to upcharge. Did you cross reference any of their recommendations with your owners manual?

I'm at 77,000 miles in my 2012. I bought it new. Haven't touched any of the steering or suspension components and it still drives like new. If I were you, I would do the transmission, transfer case, and differential fluids and leave it at that.

My dealer told me I would void my warranty if I didn't change my oil every 3000 miles. They lie.

This is my first jeep. I've always had VW's and they have always come with extremely detailed maintenance schedules. Is there something like that for us?

Everything you need to do at specific intervals is listed in your owner's manual.

If you don't have one, you can download one from the Jeep web site.

Wow, $500 for an engine and transmission oil change...

I'm sure they get a bunch of people that know nothing about vehicles to pay that. It's sad but also the prime reason very few trust dealers these days.

This is so true, charging you to lubricate steering and driveline components that are sealed.

What do they do? Spit on the joints?

Couldn't resist, even changing the serpentine belt takes all of 60 seconds.

Anyone else notice the "recommended replace timing belt" LOL good thing our Jeeps have Timing chanins

I'm sure that's not a Wrangler specific brochure, it likely covers all Mopars.

With most Mopars sharing the common Pentastar engine its seems a little fishy, don't think there are many mopar engines that have a timing belt at all.
