This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jeep themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your CJ7 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1983 Jeep CJ7 problems later.

Overview of Essential Jeep CJ7 Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1983 Jeep CJ7 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your CJ7. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1983 Jeep CJ7 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CJ7 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Jeep CJ7 battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CJ7) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jeep CJ7 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1983 Jeep CJ7's engine run smoother. To learn how often Jeep recommends you have the oil changed in your 1983 CJ7, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Jeep CJ7? Check your car for pothole damage!

  •  Why are my Jeep dashboard lights on? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Jeep CJ7 to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
