2019 Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule
Every service on the 2019 Wrangler, with its interval and an estimated cost.
The 2019 Jeep Wrangler oil change interval is every 10,000 mi or 12 months, whichever comes first (estimated cost $40–$75). Jeep's oil change indicator system decides when the oil is due: when the cluster shows "Oil Change Required" (or "Change Oil" flashes), have the oil and filter changed within the next 500 mi (805 km). Under no circumstances should the interval exceed 10,000 mi (16,000 km), 12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first; the 350-hour limit mainly concerns fleet vehicles. Frequent short trips, trailer towing and extremely hot or cold weather bring the message on sooner. Severe operating conditions can bring the message on as early as 3,500 mi (5,600 km), and a vehicle used in dusty, off-road conditions or mostly at idle or very low engine speed (severe duty) should have its oil changed every 4,000 mi (6,500 km) or 350 hours of engine run time.
