2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Jeep Grand Cherokee and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Grand Cherokee. 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 2002 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Grand Cherokee running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Grand Cherokee’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Grand Cherokee) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jeep Grand Cherokee won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee running newer, longer. To learn how often Jeep recommends you have the oil changed in your 2002 Grand Cherokee, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. 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 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
