While Jeep® service is crucial for every SUV owner, you certainly want to prioritize it when you drive an off road vehicle. There’s no denying that pushing a Jeep SUV to its limits is fun, but, naturally, it’s bound to damage your vehicle over time if you don’t keep it properly serviced at Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM.
Tire Rotation
As a general rule of thumb, you should rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. This helps to keep your tires from wearing unevenly, which can diminish your performance and even leave your tires prone to going flat. A rotation will also include a careful inspection of your tires to make sure that your tread and pressure are adequate for getting off road.
Inspection of Wheels and Components
The tires aren’t the only things that take on the brunt of work when off roading. It’s also important to have your wheels and axles inspected, as well as your suspension. Inspections may indicate that parts need to be tightened or even replaced.
Replenish Your Fluids
It’s always important to replenish the fluids under your hood, no matter what type of vehicle you drive. Check your owner’s manual to see when it’s recommended to replace your fluids, rather than refill them.
Routinely refill or replace these fluids:
- Engine oil
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Coolant
- Windshield wiper fluid
Check Your Emergency Gear
When you’re adventuring on the paths less traveled, it’s important to make sure you’re ready for anything.
These are a few things you should check before your excursion:
- Is your spare tire properly inflated?
- Do your windshield wipers need to be replaced?
- Do you have emergency supplies?
- Do you have a first aid kit?
