Owning a Jeep means embracing adventure and enjoying one of the most versatile vehicles on the road. Whether you’re driving through downtown San Diego, exploring the trails near Chula Vista, or heading to La Mesa, regular maintenance is essential to keeping your Jeep in top condition. At San Diego CDJR, we’re here to help you maintain your Jeep’s performance and reliability. Follow these essential maintenance tips to keep your Jeep running smoothly wherever the road—or trail—takes you.

1. Stay on Top of Routine Oil Changes

Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your Jeep’s engine running efficiently. Clean oil reduces friction, protects engine components, and improves overall performance. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil change intervals, typically every 5,000–7,500 miles for most Jeep models.

2. Inspect and Rotate Your Tires

Jeep vehicles are built for rugged terrain, but regular tire maintenance is key:

• Tire Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly and maintain the recommended PSI for optimal handling and fuel efficiency.
• Tread Depth: Inspect your tire tread to ensure safe traction, especially if you’re driving off-road.
• Tire Rotations: Rotate your tires every 6,000–8,000 miles to promote even wear and extend their lifespan.

3. Keep the Brakes in Check

Your Jeep’s braking system is critical for safety, especially when navigating steep trails or busy San Diego streets.

Listen for squeaking or grinding sounds, which may indicate worn brake pads.

Schedule regular brake inspections to ensure your system is functioning properly.

Our certified technicians can inspect and replace brake components to keep you safe on the road and off.

4. Check Your Suspension System

The suspension system on a Jeep is designed to handle tough terrain, but it requires regular care to perform at its best. Look for signs of wear, such as:

• Uneven tire wear
• Excessive bouncing or rough rides
• Difficulty steering

If you notice these issues, visit our service center for a suspension inspection and adjustments.
