Matthew Sessoms Jeep - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Jeep Compass
Your Jeep Compass is engineered to go the distance, but it performs best with a simple, consistent care plan. At Matthew Sessoms Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our factory-trained team builds maintenance around how and where you drive — commuting, weekend trails, or coastal road trips — and we use genuine Mopar® parts to keep everything to spec. We are proudly serving drivers in Williamston, Greenville, and Washington, making it easy to stop by for routine care or a quick check before your next adventure. Below is a general schedule many Compass owners can use as a starting point; model year, engine, transmission, and driving conditions may change the exact intervals. Always review your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our advisors for details specific to your VIN. Keeping to these touchpoints helps protect your powertrain, optimize fuel economy, and preserve safety systems like ABS, Selec-Terrain, and Driver-Assist calibrations. When you visit, we document everything in a digital inspection with photos and prioritize what’s due now versus what can wait, so your budget stays predictable and your Compass stays ready.
- Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles: Change engine oil and filter; rotate tires; perform multi-point inspection; check and top off fluids; inspect brakes, lights, and wiper blades.
- 12 months or 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter; measure brake pad and rotor wear; test battery and charging system; check alignment if you notice pulling or uneven tire wear.
- 24 months or 30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter; test brake fluid and replace as needed; inspect cooling system, hoses, and clamps; balance tires; torque suspension fasteners.
- 36 months or 45,000 miles: Inspect transmission and 4x4 system — service fluids sooner if you tow, idle frequently, or drive off-road; inspect exhaust, driveshafts, and CV boots.
- 60 months or 60,000-75,000 miles: Replace spark plugs on select engines; service coolant per Owner’s Manual; inspect or replace drive belt; service transfer case and differentials for frequent 4x4 use.
- 100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs on many Compass engines; perform complete coolant exchange; inspect water pump and thermostat; replace serpentine belt and PCV valve as needed.
- At every visit: Scan for software updates and recalls; update Uconnect; set tire pressures; reset maintenance minder; review a written, itemized plan for upcoming services.
Here is a simple way to stay on track: schedule your next service before you leave, keep maintenance tied to your oil change cadence, and bring your VIN so we can confirm exact intervals for your Jeep Compass. Our certified technicians use Mopar® diagnostics and fluids, follow torque specs, and road-test your vehicle to verify work. We provide transparent multi-point reports with photos, shuttle and drop-off options, OEM tires mounted and balanced in-house, and reminders timed to your mileage. If you’ve customized your Compass — lift, wheels, accessories — we’ll tailor alignment specs and service plans accordingly. Not sure what’s due after a road trip or off-road run? Stop in for a quick inspection and fluid test panel so you only service what’s necessary. Disclaimers: maintenance timing varies by model year, engine, and duty cycle; always consult your Owner’s Manual or contact us for manufacturer-approved guidance.
