So i have 33k miles on my WK and im starting to do my 30k miles service.
Changed my spark plugs yesterday, it was a piece of cake.
Went to the stealership today to find out how much would be the service.
They told me $180 for TC and $180 for front/rear diff.
When i asked for parts/fluids that i need, the guy gave me an estimate of $220 just for fluids.
1 bottle of lubricant (4318060ab) $10 each
5 bottles(qt) of 75w-140 (4874469) $33 each
1 tube of sealer RTV (82300234) $10
2 bottles(qt) of ATF-4 (5013457aa) $9 each
+ tax

I checked wkjeeps.com and compared.
Shows me that i only need 4 bottles of 75w-140 intead of 5, and 1 bottle of ATF-4 instead of 2. + the lubricant and the sealer.

Did an estimate on wholesalemopar.com and everything came out to $140 with shipping.

What do you guys think of this price? If you have done the 30k service, how much of everything did you use? and how hard is it to DIY?

I am a little confused as to the parts list they provided for the fluids, as they list ATF+4 for the transfer case, which leads me to assume you don't have QDII. The limited slip additive (4318060ab) that they quote, I thought, was only required for vehicles with ELSD...something looks odd about that.

You should be able to pick up everything you need from a local parts store (1 bottle of ATF+4...it should only take .7qts., 4 bottles of 75W140 synthetic gear lube, RTV sealant) for under $100 ($10 for the ATF, $75 for the gear oil, and under $5 for the RTV sealant).

The job itself is easy...plenty of write-ups on here how to tackle it. The hardest part I had was finding a 14mm hex socket (I believe it was) to remove the fill plug on the front differential!

I thought the 15 buck a qt for the redline synthetic 75w140 at my dealer was really expensive (my cost 9 and change)... It is bulk but its full synthetic goodness.

X2. Mobil-1 75W-140 for the differentials and MOPAR NV-245 transfer case fluid.

Changed them all at about 35K miles intervals.

Mine is QT-II with NV-245 xfer case and no problems in 90K miles.

When I bought my fluids it was $92 give or take a dollar or two. That was 4 bottle of Mobil 1 differential and 1 bottle of ATF4

The 3.7 never got long life plugs, just coppers, the 2 gen 4.7 got an extra plug per cylinder, one of which was irridum iirc, and the other copper. The 3.8l minivan/wrangler motor got long life plugs.

Champions are factory, I would stock with those... The mopar part number will be on the emissions label under the hood, I'm sure you can take that to the parts store and they can cross reference to the champion part number.
