2002 Jeep Wrangler Maintenance

You want your Jeep Wrangler to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Wrangler 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 Wrangler maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2002 Jeep Wrangler!

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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Wrangler running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 Jeep Wrangler problems in the future.

Bring your 2002 Jeep Wrangler to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Wrangler. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 Jeep Wrangler? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Wrangler may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Jeep Wrangler battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Wrangler) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Jeep Wrangler could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler engine. To learn how often Jeep recommends you have the oil changed in your 2002 Wrangler, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2002 Jeep Wrangler.

Routine upkeep for your Jeep Wrangler suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.
