## Jeep Grand Cherokee service schedule: common questions

### How often does a Jeep Grand Cherokee need servicing?

The first scheduled visit is at 8,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, and the pattern repeats from there.

### Does severe service change the schedule for a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

FCA's oil-life monitor drives the actual gas-engine interval; 4xe models add periodic high-voltage battery/coolant system checks per the Uconnect maintenance schedule.
