Why Regular Jeep Compass Maintenance Matters
The engine is the heart of your Jeep Compass. It powers your adventures, transforms your transportation, and makes it possible to move from point A to point B comfortably and efficiently. Engines require regular maintenance and upkeep to endure consistent travels, off-road explorations, and transporting passengers and personal gear. Regular maintenance and services, like oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections and repairs, should happen frequently for typical vehicles, but even more so for off-road capable configurations. According to the owner's manual, a Jeep Compass requires maintenance and services at specific intervals for the best and most enjoyable experience. These recommended intervals follow the 30-60-90 schedule, with some services, like oil changes, required sooner.
Oil Changes: How Often Do I Need Them?
The timeline between oil changes for your Jeep Compass will depend on various factors - driving conditions, the type of oil used, and the age of your vehicle. We typically recommend oil changes and tire rotations every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, with synthetic oil, some vehicles may be able to extend their mileage to between 5,000 and 10,000 before their following oil change. For more information on when you should get an oil change, ask one of our knowledgeable service associates at our Saline, MI, service center.
Jeep Compass Maintenance Schedule
30,000 miles: Once your Jeep Compass reaches 30,000 miles, we recommend scheduling Jeep Compass maintenance for services like inspecting the transfer case fluid, replacing the engine air cleaner filter, and changing the manual transmission fluid.
60,000 miles: At 60,000 miles, the belts, valves, and hoses of a Jeep Compass should be inspected and replaced during maintenance, if necessary. Once you reach that mileage, we recommend checking and replacing the spark plugs, tires, and battery. Most batteries typically last 50,000 to 60,000 miles.
Jeep Compass Maintenance: 60,000 miles+
After reaching the 60,000-mile mark, your car is likely a few years old, and maintenance becomes more critical than ever. Keep your Jeep Compass around for the long haul by maintaining the current maintenance schedule and paying extra attention to anything that seems off while traveling. If your vehicle is paid off, now is a good time to invest more money into vehicle maintenance and care to help extend its lifespan.
100,000 miles: At 100,000 miles, you can switch your Jeep Compass to high-mileage coolants and spark plugs to extend its lifespan. Another way to increase your vehicle's longevity is to schedule a multi-point inspection to monitor any vehicle components needing repairs or assistance.
75,000 miles: At 75,000 miles, inspect, flush, and replace the power steering fluid in your Jeep Compass if necessary. If you're having trouble turning the steering wheel when traveling, it is likely time for this service to be completed.
90,000 miles: At 90,000 miles, replace all rubber hoses to avoid vehicle malfunctions from cracks and other wear and tear.
100,000 miles: At 100,000 miles, you can switch your Jeep Compass to high-mileage coolants and spark plugs to extend its lifespan. Another way to increase your vehicle's longevity is to schedule a multi-point inspection to monitor any vehicle components needing repairs or assistance.
 
Your Role in Jeep Compass Maintenance
Even as vehicle owners, we all have a part to play in ensuring you get the most out of your time behind the wheel. In addition to consistent maintenance, there are a few things you can do to prepare your Jeep Compass for a long and happy life.
- Allow your car to idle momentarily before driving off. Keeping your vehicle stationary for a few minutes after you start the ignition can give the fluids time to gear up before hitting the road.
- Don't ignore "small" issues. As your car ages, you never know when a minor issue could turn into a bigger problem. Take your Jeep Compass in for service if you notice anything off when traveling.
- Clean your car. As simple as it sounds, cleaning your car can extend the life of your Jeep Compass. Regular waxing and washing keep the paint in excellent condition and remove any dirt or other environmental pollutant that could cause rust or other types of corrosion.
