Maintaining Your Napleton Mid Rivers Jeep Cherokee

Other Essential Fluids: Transmission Fluid, Motor Oil, Brake Fluid, Coolant and Windshield Wiper Fluid are all essential to the safe and proper operation of your Jeep Cherokee. We personally like the idea of never having to refill the windshield wiper reservoir but until engineers perfect that concept we will just have to be content to keep refilling as needed. Planning an extended road trip? It's a good idea to have your Mid Rivers Jeep inspected by one of our expert service advisors before you hit the road. Stop by to have our friendly service pros top off your fluids, even between oil changes. Contact your Mid Rivers service pro for more information today.

Wheel Alignment: Wheel alignment is the absolute single way you will be able to get the longest possible life from a set of tires. In addition to the stress-free driving, you won't have to worry about a vehicle that wants to pull left or right while you intend on going straight. Properly aligned, rotated and with the tires properly inflated according to your load, your Cherokee will offer years of hassle-free driving. Falling out of alignment could be the result of a number of circumstances ranging from driving through a pothole, running into a curb, a parking block, or other hard contact with your Jeep Cherokee. Your Mid Rivers service advisor can schedule a routine alignment every six months or more if needed. A Napleton Pro-Tip: Always rotate and balance your tires before an alignment to insure equal tire wear at all four corners of your car.

Spark Plugs: The Spark Plugs on your Jeep Cherokee are typically maintenance free, and good for a life expectancy of approximately 100,000 miles.  Your Mid Rivers Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, and Dodge Service Department stocks nearly every size of Mopar spark plug needed for your Jeep Vehicle, and will have you changed in no time! Your Cherokee's Owner's Manual offers more extensive information about these crucial pieces of equipment.



Wiper Blades: Windshield wiper blades are the gateway to the road ahead in your new Mid Rivers Jeep Cherokee. That's why they need replacement every six months or so. Change them sooner if they become brittle or if they dry out, squeaky or noisy.  Those are the four signs indicating they have outlived their useful life. A Napleton Pro tip: If they are smearing and leaving water spots on the windshield, that's a good sign it's time for replacement. The Mid Rivers Jeep Parts and Service department stock a full lineup of Wiper Blades made specifically for your new Jeep Cherokee SUV.

Transmission Fluids: With the transmission on your Jeep Cherokee being a sealed unit, chances are that unless you exceed 100,000 miles you will end up selling it before servicing it. Ha, just kidding! We know Jeep owners are so passionate about their vehicles that their ownership will easily exceed 150,000 miles in its lifetime. As designed, the transmission on your new  Mid Rivers Jeep Cherokee might need very little, if any, maintenance. But that doesn't mean you don't need to care about it. Jeep recommends a hands-off approach to transmission servicing except in situations where your  Jeep Cherokee is subjected to high-mileage, high-stressed driving, or where the transmission fluids might have become contaminated after a river crossing excursion, for instance. In which case, your Mid Rivers Service Department is able to drain and refill your transmission fluid, lickity split. Please check with your Jeep Cherokee Owner's Manual and your Mid Rivers Jeep Service Advisor.

Air Filters: A clean air filter helps your Cherokee to breathe freely, purifying the air going into the cylinders of your Mid Rivers Jeep Cherokee. Constructed to trap particles and debris from entering the engine, a dirty filter can interrupt the air flow causing the Cherokee's engine to suffer. Eventually the filter becomes clogged, causing a loss in efficiency that reduces mileage. Your Mid Rivers Cherokee Owner's Manual suggests changing it every 30,000 miles unless you live near a desert region in the United States, in which case you should change it around 15,000-miles.  Your Mid Rivers Jeep service advisor would be happy to inspect it for you.
