1985 Jeep Scrambler Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Jeep Scrambler to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Scrambler has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Scrambler maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 Jeep Scrambler!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jeep themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Scrambler's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1985 Jeep Scrambler problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Jeep Scrambler and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 Scrambler's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 Jeep Scrambler 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jeep Scrambler battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Scrambler) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jeep Scrambler won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1985 Jeep Scrambler engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1985 Scrambler. 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 1985 Jeep Scrambler.
