  • How much can I tow in a Jeep J10? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your J10’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my J10's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Jeep J10’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed.
