1997 Jeep Wrangler Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Jeep Wrangler, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Wrangler has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Wrangler, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Jeep Wrangler!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Jeep themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 Wrangler running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Jeep Wrangler problems later.

Bring your 1997 Jeep Wrangler 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Wrangler’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Jeep Wrangler? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Jeep Wrangler battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Wrangler stranded. Your Jeep Wrangler won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1997 Jeep Wrangler's engine run smoother. See Jeep's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 Wrangler in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 Wrangler.
