The first scheduled visit is at 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, and the pattern repeats from there. ### What is due at 30,000 miles on a Jeep Wrangler? Replace engine air filter; Replace cabin air filter; Inspect ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar, steering damper; Inspect front/rear axle and transfer case fluid. ### What is due at 60,000 miles on a Jeep Wrangler? Repeat 30,000-mile items; Replace transfer case and differential fluid (sooner if driven off-road/through water). ### What is due at 100,000 miles on a Jeep Wrangler? Replace engine coolant (then every 50,000 mi); Replace spark plugs (gas engines). ### Does severe service change the schedule for a Jeep Wrangler? Off-road/water-fording use is 'severe service', halve fluid-change intervals for axles, transfer case, and oil.
