1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Maintenance

You want your Jeep Grand Cherokee to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Grand Cherokee could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Grand Cherokee maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule!

Jeep knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Grand Cherokee's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee and our technicians will jump right in 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Grand Cherokee. 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 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 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 Grand Cherokee 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 Grand Cherokee 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Jeep Grand Cherokee could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1997 Grand Cherokee. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
