Matthew Sessoms Jeep - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Jeep Grand Cherokee L
Your Jeep Grand Cherokee L was engineered for family comfort and trail-ready capability. Keeping it at its best comes down to a smart, consistent maintenance rhythm. Our factory-trained technicians know the WL platform inside and out, from Pentastar V6 service needs to 4x4 system inspections, and we use genuine Mopar® parts, updated diagnostic software, and model-specific torque specs to deliver the right fix the first time. At Matthew Sessoms Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we make service straightforward with online scheduling, transparent multi-point inspections, and clear recommendations tailored to how you drive, whether you commute, tow, or explore unpaved roads. We also check key owner conveniences many shops overlook, like Uconnect software updates, ADAS camera and radar calibrations for features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning, and the condition of your Quadra-Lift Air Suspension components when equipped. Most model years share the same essentials — oil, filters, brakes, belts, coolant, and driveline fluids — but intervals vary based on mileage, time, and usage. Below is a simple, easy-to-follow guide you can reference between visits. For the most accurate plan, always follow your Owner’s Manual and service reminders, and ask us to customize a schedule for your vehicle and driving profile.
- Break-in, first 1,000 miles: Vary speeds, avoid max throttle and heavy towing.
- Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles: Rotate tires, inspect brakes, top off fluids.
- Every 12 months or 10,000 miles: Change engine oil and filter, replace cabin filter as needed.
- 24 months or 20,000-30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter, test brake fluid, align if pulling.
- 36-48 months or 30,000-40,000 miles: Inspect coolant, transmission, 4x4 transfer case and axles.
- 60-100,000 miles or 5-10 years: Service differentials, coolant, spark plugs per engine spec.
Build long-term reliability with a few easy habits: set calendar reminders for time-based items, check the instrument cluster oil life monitor monthly, keep tires at the door-jamb pressures, and log each service in the glovebox or your phone. If your Grand Cherokee L sees frequent idling, short trips, heavy loads, or dusty roads, choose the severe-duty side of the schedule. Our advisors can also perform a road test to listen for early signs like brake pulsation, wheel-bearing hum, or suspension clunks, and we will torque critical fasteners after tire rotations. When equipped with 4x4, we inspect the transfer case and axle seals, verify Selec-Terrain operation, and check for software updates that refine drivability. For convenience, we offer quick maintenance, OEM tires, and parts availability that keep downtime to a minimum, serving in Williamston, Greenville, and Washington.
