2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first. Engines: see schedule title.

Additional Inspections
Inspect the CV joints.
Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary.
Inspect the front and rear axle fluid, change if using your vehicle for police, taxi, fleet, off-road or frequent trailer towing.
Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function.
Inspect transfer case fluid.
Additional Maintenance
Replace engine air filter.
Replace the air conditioning filter.
Replace spark plugs.**
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first.
Change transfer case fluid.
Inspect and replace PCV valve if necessary.

Oil Change Indicator - RESET

  • Unless reset, this message continues to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Menu button. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following procedure:Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position (Do not start the engine). Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position. If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position (Do not start the engine).
  • Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position. If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.

Once a Month Or Before a Long Trip

  • Check engine oil level
  • Check windshield washer fluid level
  • Check tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
  • Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder and fill as needed.
  • Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System

  • Change the engine oil filter.
  • Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on.
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
  • Inspect exhaust system.
  • Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
