1985 Jeep CJ7 Maintenance Schedule

You want your Jeep CJ7 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your CJ7 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your CJ7, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Jeep CJ7!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Jeep, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your CJ7 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 Jeep CJ7 problems later.

Bring your 1985 Jeep CJ7 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your CJ7's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Jeep CJ7. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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 1985 Jeep CJ7's engine run smoother.
