Hello everyone!
I’m new to the Jeep Grand Cherokee forums and I’m excited to say that I plan on getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee! It’s always been my dream car and it’s almost time for me to get one! I plan on getting a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and if everything works out right it might even be the 75th anniversary edition!
Either way I have a few questions regarding the maintenance schedule on said car. Now I looked at the maintenance schedule and was VERY surprised to see that there weren’t that many things to replace AND the fact that you wait till 100k or even 120k miles to do said replacement! Now my sister has a 2015 Jeep Patriot that I’ve done work on to keep it maintained and on that car you have to do fluid changed every 50k miles for the PTU and RDA fluid. Plus replacing the spark plugs every 30k miles.
I’ll post the maintenance schedule of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee here in the discussion but it’s a little hard to swallow that it’s saying to replace engine coolant at 100k miles but replace the transfer case fluid at 120k!? To me that doesn’t seem right, won’t the fluid thin out and get dirty? I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving the fluid in there for that long of a time period. Also another thing I noticed were the spark plugs, you’re telling me that these spark plugs are gonna last me 100k miles!? If so I’m surprised.
To finally wrap up this discussion I would love to know what you folks do for your cars and it’s maintenance schedule! Do you replace fluids at earlier miles then what the owners manual says? Are there fluids you do change that aren’t specified in the owners manual? I’m noticing now there is no transmission fluid change or an interval for it. Plus the PTU and RDA fluid isn’t specified at what intervals to change those at either
I want this car to last a long time and I hope to hear from you all!
